Week 8 #19

From the Web 2.0 awards list, I explored Biblio.com.

It is a site for searching for used books, rare books and out-of-print books.

When you buy books from them you are supporting literacy and education.

They have used portions of their profits to help build 7 community libraries in south america.

I searched for the used book, Carbonel by Barbara Sleigh.

This book is not as hard to find or as expensive since it has been recently re-published.

Many of the books are from the UK but they have converted the money to U.S. dollars.

I like the site. It is fun to search for books. Anything related to books is applicable for a library setting.
