Educated by Twitter

What I have learned on Twitter so far…

The Jonas Brothers are in Paris. They did a concert this past weekend and posted a picture . Their album “Lines, Vines and Trying Times” comes out tomorrow, June 16th. NPR reported that since the brothers are getting older, they want their fans to grow with them.

A co-worker here at ODL writes the Extremely Graphic blog on the NewsOK web site. Sadie Mattox, reference librarian, is a dedicated manga/graphic novel/comic book reader. While she’s away on maternity leave, Bill Young, ODL’s Public Information Office Division Administrator will be writing.

And finally, ALA reports there are now more public library buildings, a total of 16,592 including branches, in the United States than McDonalds. And, the best part? You can read all the books you want and not feel guilty.

Free Comic Book Day

  • I am getting ready to order free comics for the public libraries. The comics are for Free Comic Book Day on May 5, 2007. Many comic bookstore outlets want to join with libraries in promoting comic books to children and young adults.
  • If you already have a supplier, please let me know. Otherwise I will use the numbers you gave for the summer reading Sonic coupons. The comic books will be provided free of cost for the libraries. I will use the numbers you gave for the Sonic coupons as to how many you get.
  • Call or e-mail if you have any questions. Please let me know by this Friday. Sorry for the short notice.
