New islands announced - your library could be on one
The library archipelago now consists of 13 islands: 8 Info Islands and 5 partners. An island is equivalent to about 65 500m2 and costs roughly USD900 to purchase and USD150 in monthly costs.
Three new islands have been announced:
ALA/Arts Island - half for the American Library Association and half for a replica European Opera house
Imagination Island. Half is Vendor Ville for vendors to share their wares. The other half, Rachelville, sounds very special indeed. Rachelville is donated by a couple in memory of their little girl, Rachel. It “will be a magical place with displays, environments, and experiments related to children’s literature and people who want to know more about it”.
Cybrary City 2 Libraries can purchase space here for between USD300 - USD500 per year, depending on the size of the plot. Plots are larger than in Cybrary City 1. The big attraction I see is that your neighbours would all be librarians and you would benefit from networking with them and be located on the Information Archipelago. I’d love to see a few Australian Libraries there. (I can dream). If your library is interested, contact Lori Bell ( lbell at alliancelibrarysystem.com) or Lorelei Junot in Second Life.
