This blog is from the Princeton Public Library. PPL is a great public library that has successfully made itself into a community hangout. One of the ways it’s done this is through this blog, which acts as a bulletin board for information about library events. The blog also has reviews of new publications.

Hi Roel,
I agree with your comments, PPL's blog seems ideal for community building. I'm a big fan of book review blogs, great idea to plug programs in between and offer RSS. I also like that they have a sense of humor (see their What not to read post). I would have liked to see an "about" page for the contributors - are they librarians, other employees and/or patrons? It wasn't clear to me.
Your post made me laugh. I too have a list of books I want to read when school is done...someday (heavy sigh). I've never checked out the PL blog so thanks for the info and introduction. It's definitely seems to grab the attention of the locals. I get the sense PL is a well-funded library (?) but alas that's a whole other topic...
