I was doing some research on libraries this weekend and stumbled upon this Andrew Heiskell Braille and Talking Book Library. I didn't know that the NYC Library system had a library for the blind and visually impaired. I think I may have send them a donation.
The Daily Beast had a few people tell them their favorite Summer reads ever. It's a very sweet list.
A blog called Bookride did a collection of dull/strange book covers this week. Experience the The Joy of Dullness and it's riveting second installment called The Joy of Dullness 2.
