My Space Highway





Lots of libraries in the US are using Myspace to involve teenagers in Library activities and to encourage them to use library resources. Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh have their new books for teens listed on Library Thing. There is also has an events page where teens can search for activities organized by the Library that would interest teenagers. Pawtucket Library has also used Myspace to promote its services. It has a "do NOT read any of these books" link as well as a link to "Use the same selected websites as our Librarians".

The Baillieu Library at Melbourne University has a Myspace blog called Art in the Library. This blog has 34 best friends.

I enjoyed the whole road/travel kind of theme- wondered whether you might end up in the Restaurant at the end of the Universe, or perhaps....Endless Highway
