You’re Invited to the Grand Opening of the Nebraska Library Commission in Second Life!
Second Life is the online virtual world built and owned by it’s residents. More than 400 librarians from all types of libraries are using Second Life to provide programs, services and materials to their patrons in the virtual world.
For example, at the Nebraska Library Commission in Second Life, we have installed a rotating exhibit of photos from Nebraska Memories. The photos on display will be changed on a regular basis, so there will always be something new to see!
We will also be scheduling events and training in the upcoming months. Check back here and at our Second Life building to see what we have planned!
So, join the Second Life community by creating your own personal avatar (it’s FREE!) and come visit the Nebraska Library Commission at our new building on Cybrary City.

Unfortunately, I will be in Texas visiting my mother. That’s about the time I’ll be arriving in San Antonio after a 3 hour flight!
