hennepin county library’s bookspace

The ever resourceful Librarian in Black breaks a huge story about hennepin county library’s bookspace which is an online community based around books. I’m going to copy her list of things readers can do at bookspace:

* create their own account for Book Space
* sign up for e-mail alerts on new books
* get daily book excerpts via e-mail
* listen to audio eBooks
* create book lists
* browse subjects and genres to find good books
* get e-mail and RSS feed updates on new books
* post comments about what they’re reading
* find book events and book clubs
* sign up for Book Space eNews

The pictures he posts remind me of a bookstore, the real world versions, not Amazon. Browse, pick up, *maybe* put down, it’s very inviting. Maybe it’d the guy in the comfy chair and the cozy sweater. I’d like to live in Hennepin.
