I found this very interesting. Santa Fe Library (friend works for them) has a calculator to show you the value of the library services that you use.

Harry Potter Film News

Via LISNews - Last 'Harry Potter' Film To Be Released in Two Segments

Link is to WSJ article.

Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. Pictures will release its film adaption of the final "Harry Potter" book in two parts, saying doing so is necessary to stay true to the tome.

Part one of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" will open during the holiday season of 2010, with part two to be released the following summer. The first five films in the series have grossed $4.5 billion globally. The sixth movie, based on "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is due to be released in the U.S. on Nov. 21.

Spring in the Midwest

I was browsing for a spring-themed bon mot for our home page, and ran across this quote, which amused me no end, as I grew up in Cleveland:

You can't see Canada across Lake Erie, but you know it's there. It's the same with spring. You have to have faith, especially in Cleveland. ~Paul Fleischman

Kids and the Net, redux

GREAT blog post from David Pogue in the NYTimes Circuits section on the reality of kids and the Internet. Like him, I recommend the completely amazing PBS Frontline documentary (completely available online, free) on Teens and the Net.
