Philly's Paschalville Library has a new collection: Neckties

Neckwear is a new addition at the Southwest Philly branch, which has run a “Job Readiness Center” since 2006.

This is a fantastic idea. I bet it would be a good service to cross-promote for weddings, as well?

It’s Friday! Time for the Mudd Library’s Featured New Book!

Okay. So this book isn't quite new to our shelves, but it is featured on the current display in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day this coming Monday. 

Jess Holz's book, Language of Hate: 2,804 Comments on Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" is a compilation of YouTube comments responding to a recording of King's "I Have a Dream" speech, beginning when the video first appeared in 2006 and extending through April 2008.

Since it's publication, there has been a second release with an added 2,000 comments. Self-published by Holz here in Appleton, this book features a unique and powerful perspective of individuals, Internet/YouTube culture, and American society through the raw presentation of unbridled Internet commentors. 

The book can be found on the the current display or with the Call Number: E 185.97 .K5 H65 2008.
