Reader's Garden New Home

The Reader's Garden is one of my most precious projects in Second Life. With over 450 members and scores of guests that visit this garden, attend events, and assist in its well-being each week, it is a tremendous asset to Second Life and Archipelago.

The relocation of the Reader's Garden from Info Island to Cybrary City 1 is nearly complete. This new location is larger and I believe will continue to serve Alliance and its users in many ways; bringing new folks to the Alliance Islands and keeping literature alive in Second Life, for examples. As the Alliance Library System responds to its continued growth and development, I see this change as an opportunity to better serve AVL and its patrons.
