		<description>This whole concept of second life is a bit way out there for me.
But I guess it works for some people.  Interesting use of technology.

I am a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.petermoss.com&quot; rel=&quot;&quot;&gt;developer&lt;/a&gt; and I find this technology very intriguing.  What is next? Smart card uploads straight to your long-term memory?

		<description>Hi Phoebe!

Thanks so much for adding this information about The Library!  As I told you, I wished I&#039;d known about it before I wrote this post -- you could have answered a lot of my questions (not to mention, saved me from fiddling around so much).

I visited The Library and was very impressed with it -- I&#039;ll be back often!  Such a nice range of books you have, and the atmosphere there is so open and light and inviting!

Like you, I&#039;m a readaholic -- and proud of it, too! :)  Anyone who loves to read or write would love The Library.  I&#039;m looking forward to spending more time there!

Thanks again!

		<description>My name, in Second Life, is Phoebe Poitier - and I&#039;m a bookaholic.  I&#039;ve been on SL just short of two years now.

I own a place called &quot;The Library&quot; which I&#039;ve been working on for over a year.  It&#039;s located on Driftwood Beach in Aslan;(http://slurl.com/secondlife/Aslan/216/134/34)
There are over 150 different books available to read here. 

It&#039;s a bit of a different approach than owning a book and reading it.  For the first year or so, I had just notecard books that I got from various sources and brought into SL myself. To read one of these books, you click on it to get a menu of the chapters, choose the chapter you want to see and you&#039;re given a notecard of that chapter. You could, I suppose, grab a notecard for every chapter and take them with you to read whenever or even copy and paste them to your word processing program and print them to read in RL -  Of course I&#039;d prefer it if you stuck around, about the only thing I love more than books are new friends :)

I recently moved the Library to Aslan from another region and I have much more prim space here, so I&#039;ve added some published books, like the ones that Alas wrote about........   the page turners as I like to call them :)  I have placed all the books of this type that I could get my hands on (in SL) on display for all to read. The thing is, you can&#039;t wear them, because they&#039;re mine and although I can share them with you, I can&#039;t give away other peoples books.   

I find the best way to read them when they&#039;re on display is to hit CTRL+1 - you&#039;ll get a little magnifying glass - then click the magnifying glass on the center of the book.  Then you can zoom in as far as you need to.  Clicking to turn the pages then won&#039;t move you around and you&#039;ll stay in that view until you walk or turn your avatar - at which time you just go back to your normal view.

I have also just added some portraits of authors and clicking on any portrait will give you a short bio about that particular author.  

I do have a printing press of my own, so little by little I hope to have some books available that you can take and wear.

I have lots of things in the works for my Library and am open to any suggestions anyone may have.  Please stop by, have a peek and let me know what you think. 

It&#039;s a slow and painstaking work, my labor of love. I guess maybe its so slow and painstaking because I just can&#039;t stop myself from reading!
