Library Link of the Day and NPR - Why The Next Big Pop-Culture Wave After Cupcakes Might Be Libraries

Library Link of the Day (http://www.tk421.net/librarylink/) sends a daily link that might be of interest to librarians. Often the links are very interesting or thought provoking. The July 23rd link was to a story from NPR "Why The Next Big Pop-Culture Wave After Cupcakes Might Be Libraries " http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2010/07/20/128651136/why-the-next-big-pop-culture-wave-after-cupcakes-might-be-libraries
