The New York Public Library recently released 187,000 of their images into the public domain. This allows these images to be reused and remixed. This could be a great resource for students in project work. There are letters from Alexander Hamilton, sheet music from the early 1900's, and pictures of immigrants arriving at Ellis Island.

BOOK TIP: Bone Gap by Laura Ruby
The book awards were announced yesterday by the American Library Association. The Micheal L. Printz award goes to the best young adult book. Bone Gap by Laura Ruby is this year's winner. This is a novel of magical realism and mystery. Roza goes missing, and only Finn witnessed what happened to her. But he is unsure of what he saw and how to help. A novel that will keep you guessing and wondering what is real and what is not.
