If you haven't noticed by my list of links, I'm a bit of a NPR junkie. One of my all time favorite stories aired last year and resulted in one of my favorite gifts. My wicked awesome portable record player! The NPR story (A Eulogy For the Boombox) can be found here. One of the beauteous aspects of being a child of the 80's. But the reason for mentioning this particular story is to remind people of the fact that NPR is always worth a listen no matter your taste.
Another reason why I'm posting today is to point out a freebie for Florida residents. All you need is your library card. The Florida Electronic Library offers literally thousands of newspaper and magazine articles online free of charge. Your library barcode is your password. Just type it in and away you'll go. You can browse hundreds of publications on just about any topic. I will point out that you will not find any photos of Playboy's centerfold of the month, so don't even bother. But isn't this a great idea? You're sitting in the library reading an article in, say, the New York Times. And it's one that's a keeper or one you wish to share. Sign up for a computer and log onto the Florida Electronic Library and search for the article. Viola! Print it up (for free) and take it with...
My goal is to annotate an article once a week (Perhaps more) using the F.E.L. as a way of "guiding" the patrons and also (hopefully) to expand their horizons.
Until next time faithful reader(s)!
