So how’s everybody doing out there? It’s hotter’n’heck where I’m sitting, but at least there are books and the ever-interesting interwebs. And things were certainly hopping out there! Enjoy this week’s best links and frivolities.
A screenshot of WMTV’s coverage of “Don’t Shoot.”
New features:
- Madison Public Library, one of our strongest library connections, was the center of a public art controversy, and we got the inside scoop.
- LAIP co-founder Laura shared her teen program for blacklight art painting, which you should definitely recreate at your own library (or yourself just for fun!).
Other news:
- We just had to give you an update on The Book to Art Club and how it’s catching on in libraries across the country!
- Laura & Erinn had a Google Hangout with the folks at New South Wales’ Reference and Information Services Group, and you can watch the whole thing on YouTube here!
- So the new Harper Lee book, Go Set a Watchman, finally came out… and people were understandably confused by its content. I especially appreciated this short opinion piece at Brilliant Books to their customers.
- OF COURSE London has a floating book barge!!!
- Can doodling be the key to making memories stick? Very interesting case studies.
- Check out this new generator for animated text GIFs. Can always come in handy.
- 5 online places to teach yourself coding on the cheap – great resources!
- Aw yeah – University of Leeds digitized 27 of its illuminated, medieval manuscripts.
- Remember last month’s news about Google’s DeepDream code that created really trippy images? Yeah, some people applied it to maps.
- Neat – the Smithsonian is creating animated videos for science teachers as professional development.
- Atlas Obscura’s Guide to Literary Road Trips is most impressive.
- 101 Free Silent Films you can watch right now. So there goes your Friday, am I right?
- Pride & Prejudice 2005 + Onion headlines = the internet at its very best.
