ALA Island

One of my first stops, if not the first, was ALA Island। Since I joined for a library science class I figured this would be a good place to start.

Ok I guess I should point out that yeah I'm not that great with pictures but anyway :)
Here is where you start on the island। The island if full of everything library। Since the ALA winter conference just happened there was video streaming of awards. Directly to the right of this picture there is a shop full of library shirts. They are free so pick as many up as you want. It is a good thing to get out of the clothes your av comes in well unless you like blue and white stripped shirts or pink polka dot dresses :).

If you turn around right where you landed you will see a teleport. This will allow you to teleport to anywhere on the island. Just left click to pick a place and then it will let you teleport-very easy. There are so many places to look on the island. I will talk about a two.

Also don't forget to join the ALA group.

Banned Books

When I joined SL it was around Banned Books Week. Unfortunately I couldn't go to any of the events but the Banned Book area is up all the time. It is a little city with buildings names after popular banned books (Perks of Being a Wallflower and Harry Potter). There's also a soap box you can hop on :).

Saying no to banned books

Reading Garden

Another area of ALA Island is the Reading Garden. Ever month there are different authors that you can listen to and the place is just so pretty.

A few more things. All around the island there are kiosks with different library organizations. Click on them and they will give you information on the organization. Very neat.

ALA will frequently hold different events or discussions on the island. There was tons for the ALA Winter conference.

And finally for all book lovers. There is a spot where you can take a picture of yourself holding a book. This was probably one of the first pictures I took.
