Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (February 27, 1807 – March 24, 1882)

One of my favorite poems when I was a child was "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. I would curl up in a chair with the volume of children's verse that it was in and read it aloud, just because I loved the rhyme and meter of the verse. In addition to this and many other well-known poems, Longfellow also translated Dante's The Divine Comedy. This translation has been paired with illustrations by Gustave Doré and is republished every few years.

Library Usage Statistics

In the recent Pew Information searches that solve problems: How people use the internet, libraries, andgovernment agencies when they need help report, it shows that nationally the Internet is edging ahead of professionals in providing answers to questions in certain areas. Even with the preference for the Internet, libraries are still used by over 1/2 of Americans and the largest group of library users are members of Generation Y. For a quick summary or to link to the questionaire used, visit Pew Reports.

A website I have never even contemplated the existence of...

I heard about this website, while listening to the radio. I have to admit, I was a little shocked to see that it even seems to be visited by others. I mean, most people I know seem ambivalent about-if they do not actually dislike sauerkraut.
