The American Library Association has come up with a report on "The State of America's Libraries". The full document is 19 pages in PDF and full of positive news.
There's a really good long article in Information Today by Jill Grogg and Beth Ashmore about Google Book Search Libraries and Their Digital Copies.
The 'new' J. R. R. Tolkien novel, The Tale of the Children of Hurin, an unpublished prequel to the Lord of the Rings material, edited by Tolkien's son Christopher, is getting a lot of press (1)(2). A lot of links have come up about the mystery genre. Library Journal has an interesting article about smaller publishers, The Killer Genre : New talent and publishing initiatives for mystery readers ; Booklist just came out with a list of The Year's Best Crime Novels : 2007 ; a website turned up, wheredunnit.com, that sorts mysteries by location ; and the Palm Beach County Public Library has a though website about mysteries that includes an extensive list of mystery blogs.
