Library Locator – Find a Library Near You
For those who are or have been homeless, libraries can take on a much greater role. In times of bad weather, when wanting to get on and use the Internet as well as reading and research just about anything, they can find us and the links to food, shelter, and jobs.
LibWeb
http://www.lib-web.org
Very popular and searchable directory of libraries from around the world. Frequently updated and very easy to use. Hosted by OCLC’s (Online Computer Library Center) WebJunction, “An online community for library staff.”
lib-web-cats: A directory of libraries through the world
http://www.librarytechnology.org/libwebcats/
An increasingly international and searchable directory of library web catalogs (“lib-web-cats”). Frequently updated and offers many different ways to search for libraries. Maintained by Marshall Breeding, Director for Innovative Technologies and Research, Vanderbilt University
PublicLibraries.com
http://www.publiclibraries.com/
An easy-to-use and very library-friendly site offering a free searchable directory of public, state, presidential, college, and law libraries. Almost all of libraries listed are within the United States, but there is a listing of “National Libraries”.
Search for Public Libraries – Institute for Museum and Library Statistics (IMLS)
http://harvester.census.gov/imls/search/index.asp
IMLS administers the Public Library Survey, formerly administered by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and from this information provides this excellent United States public library locator tool. There is also a link that lets you compare libraries.

WorldCat
http://www.worldcat.org
Instead of searching for a library, WorldCat lets you search for books, videos, articles, and music in more than 10,000 library catalogs from around the world. When you click on an item in your search, WorldCat senses your location (your IP address, really) and shows you the libraries closest to you with that item, often with links to that library’s homepage. One warning: the catalog information may not be up-to-date, although some libraries now use WorldCat as their catalog. |

Fіrst off ӏ would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick question that ӏ’d lіke to ask if үou do not mind.
I was curious tօ know hhow you center yourѕelf and clear your mind prior tо writing.
ӏ have ɦad а tough tіme clearing mу mind in gettіng
my thօughts out. ӏ trulʏ do tɑke pleasure іn writing but it just seems likme tɦe first 10 tߋ
15 minutes tend to bе wasted just tryіng to figure oսt how to begin. Any suggestions օr hints?
Thanks!
Not sure if this is true for many- but get a drink (of some kind) take whatever meds or vitamins you need- eat something – even a little and immerse yourself. For a writer – you can do an S.K. (SKing) type question… “What if?” Thank you for the comment – and working hard here to get this place readable and nice to the eyes with no ads or annoying clutter. Medclinician

Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this website.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s hard to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appeal.
I must say that you’ve done a awesome job with this. Also,
the blog loads extremely quick for me on Safari.
Superb Blog!
Excellent weblog on this site! Additionally your site a great
deal up fast! What hosting company are you the usage
of? Can I am just getting your associate link for your personal host?

One way to have a faster site is to keep it simple without a lot of ads. There are and will be no ads here.
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this,
like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some
pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other
than that, this is wonderful blog. An excellent read.
I will certainly be back.
Thanks for stopping by. Will be putting up a lot more video and also finally replying to so many comments. jb
I really love your blog.. Great colors & theme.
Did you create this website yourself? Please reply back as I’m planning to create my own personal website and would like to find out where you got this from
or just what the theme is called. Cheers!
It is still under construction. I do miss Dreamweaver and yet for a site with good interaction with the readers and posts, this is great. jb
I must thank you for the efforts you have put in writing this site.
I’m hoping to see the same high-grade content from
you in the future as well. In truth, your creative writing abilities has motivated me to get my own, personal website now 😉
We stumbled over here from a different web page and thought I might check things out.
I like what I see so now i am following you. Look forward to looking into your
web page yet again.
