While I was away, the British Library joined the Flickr Commons and published over one million images for public domain use. Is that not amazing?

Also in Britain: there’s a Museum of Childhood, and a current exhibition in said museum is the wonderful “Confiscation Cabinets” collection. See what bizarre items were taken from kids in classes!

Need a badge? The Unshelved guys have you covered. (In related news, I got a magnet today which reads “Yay! Librarians!”)
