New Neighbor: Cleveland Public Library

[Donavan Vicha]

I've noticed nothing about it on their Web site, nor any press releases ... but it's no secret to anyone who's visited the ALA Tower that we have a new neighbor: the Cleveland Public Library! And they have a whole island and what looks like a great layout for their Second Life equivalent. Anyone out there know more?

LOL...yes, I do! I'm in charge of the project :) CPL has bought a sim, and we have a contractor who has only just gotten started. We won't be announcing it officially until it's ready for opening, sometime in early-mid fall. We will be using the island primarily to showcase our special exhibits (did you know that we have the biggest collection of chess "stuff" in the world?) and also to broadcast some events held in RL into SL. We have some special surprises coming, but I can't talk about those yet!
