FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!!!

This SATURDAY, May 2!


Yes, this day really exists! Actually, it's an annual event: the first Saturday in May! So are they really free? Why, yes they are!

"The annual event is the perfect opportunity to introduce your friends and family to the many worlds of wonder available at your local comic book store. From super-heroes to slice-of-life to action/adventure and beyond, Free Comic Book Day has a comic book for everyone!"

So where can you get your hands on some free comics? Well, we don't have them here at the library, so visit That's Entertainment at 244 Park Ave in Worcester. Chynna Clugston, who wrote Scooter Girl and Blue Monday, will be there, along with other special guests! Be sure to thank the TE staff, for all they do for us at SPL!

No More Myspace or Blogs in the Library?

It could very well happen. Republican Senator Matt Murphy of Illinois is attempting to get a bill passed that would make it illegal for all public and school libraries to allow access to social networking sites like MySpace and blogs.

Read more about it hereand here.


So what do you think? Should MySpace and blogs like this one be available in the library? Or should they be blocked?
