vandalism as art
This link has been making the rounds. San Francisco Public had been having a problem with vandalism. Over 600 gay and lesbian themed books were defaced and left inthe library with slips of paper advertising a bible radio station. The man who did the damage was finally caught, but the library was having a hard time deciding what to do with all the remains of the vandalized books. “Reversing Vandalism” was their solution and is available online and in selected SFO branch libraries.

quiet, it’s a library?! what century is this?
I’m not sure I like how the National Chemical Society is celebrating National Library Week. [thanks dawn]
bookboats and more
The Prince Rupert Library has a web site devoted to their plans to design and build a new waterfront library. My favorite part? The unusual libraries section: book bikes, book boats, book trains, you name it. [thanks thomas]
