I love listening to audio tours of libraries from around the world. This one is of the British Library.

Talks, discussions and performances

This week, we are learning about embedding videos in our blog. To keep with my blog's theme, here is a video, a clip really, from my favorite movie made about George Sand's life, Impromptu.

My word cloud

Found an interesting image on WikiCommons about Charles X. During the 19th century, a book made quite a stir as it was said to be a historical account, but was really a work of fiction, about the life of this King.

OOops! Wrong King! it was the story of Charles IX written by Prosper Mérimée that caused such a fracas in France at the beginning of the 19th Century. Thought to be a historical account, the novel was heavily criticized. You can find this fabulous book in NB public libraries.

i began following an interesting reader in Bibliocommons today. She seems to work in a library system and creates list of books for all genres. Enjoyable to see her comments!

Have tweeted two weeks ago. Now it's catchup week and that's exactly what i'll be doing.

i've not had a chance to blog much about the 23 things experience yet, so i thought i would today. Congrats to the team for designing it. it's making us learn great things.
