Olathe notecard

Last night Rocky helped me set up a "notecard giver," an object you click on, it offers to give you a notecard, and you can read and discard the notecard or stash it in your inventory. Here is a DRAFT notecard I put it the notecard giver today, just so we would have something. Take a look andb please make any suggested changes as a comment on this post. We can decide on a final version at the meeting and then run it by Emily for approval:

Welcome to the Second Life branch of the Olathe Public Library!

Olathe is a growing suburban community of about 122,500 people, located 20 miles southwest of downtown Kansas City, and is the 4th largest city in the state of Kansas. Our public library serves nearly 94,000 card holders through our two branches. In 2007 staff answered nearly 80,000 reference questions. Our collection stands at more than 290,500 items and our circulation in 2007 was 1,332,800!

In Second Life we hope to expand and enhance our services while offering staff an exciting opportunity join the global library community active in this information-rich virtual environment. Please feel free to drop us a notecard with any comments or questions, and come back often to see what we are up too!

Our official Library Vision is to: “meet the lifelong informational, educational and recreational needs of the community through quality services and resources.”
