Franklin County Library does NOT have the book, Humans of New York, but the blog is very interesting. Brandon Stanton takes pictures of people on the street and asks them a few questions to get a caption for the picture. After the initial success, he was able to travel to Jordan and Ukraine to take pictures there as well. The pictures are poignant and some of the captions are profound. Personally, the pictures taken in other countries remind me that many people are facing problems that I can't even imagine. Click the link above to take a look.

Chance recommends IMDb (Internet Movie Database) for information about upcoming movies, new releases, and movie trivia. All the reviews on the site are user generated, meaning that no one is paid for their opinion. Users can also find movie and celebrity news and trivia. For example, I found out that today is the birthday of Bob Marley and Ronald Reagan. Click the link above to try it out!
Lisa enjoys the National Geographic website, particularly the photography section. They have a "photo of the day" or you can look at photos by category. Today's picture is of homes being built on the water's edge in what used to be part of the Everglade Swamp. Click the title above to see it!
