The Peterborough Town Library in New Hampshire is celebrating its 175th Anniversary today. This marks 175 years of library operation, highlighting the Peterborough Town Library as the oldest tax-supported library in the world. Evidently they’ll be serving up a full line of events along with birthday cake for all!
This makes for a great kick off for National Library week. For fifty years, National Library Week (April 13-19, 2008) has been celebrated by libraries of all types all across the country. This year, ALA brings the celebration to Second Life with a week of “in world” activities.
All activities will take place on the ALA Island, ALA’s virtual space, and will be hosted by Tina Coleman, ALA member specialist, whose Second Life avatar name is Kay Tairov or Val Hawkins, ALA library reference specialist, whose Second Life avatar name is ALALibraryVal Miles.
The ALA Island/ALA Main Stage is located at 128, 107, 29. In Second Life, teleport there directly here
