On The Web

Blue Jean Online is a creative space for young women ages 14-22 to submit their writings, art work, photography, crafts and other works for online publication to a world wide audience.
A really neat place, and it is free! You register with this service by creating an anonymous screen name and password. Then, whenever you read a book, you register the book, making a journal entry for it, print off a label to glue inside the cover, then you go someplace and release the book into the wild. Someone finds it, reads it, makes an online journal entry, and the chain goes on. But please, only "release" your own books, not library books.
Come into the library to make your free account, then download eBooks and eAudiobooks anytime, anywhere.
