Hi there. It's Thursday, which means things are getting increasingly frenetic around here, so I will give you links and get out of the way!

As found on librarian.net: some new gorgeous pictures of gorgeous libraries around the world.

Chronicling America, the division of the Library of Congress dedicated to historical newspapers, has a new beta site that you can check out -- it looks great!

I love the new volunteerism of crowdsourcing. (I really wish it could lead to true jobs, rather than volunteer work, but anything is good at the moment.)

Did you know 2011 is the Year of Forests? It is!

Tomorrow: links from others!
