I just read in a previous issue of Library Journal about a public library in New Zealand that has its own recording studio. Cool! The studio, called Beatbooth, was built with a budget of about $3,000 and opened in May. Users can record their productions and burn finished tracks to CD. They charge about $3.50 per hour (US) to use it. What a way to take unused space and make it into something that meet’s users’ needs! The other cool thing - it’s a partnership with a nonprofit music organization, the library, and a music store.

I saw this in VOYA … Askthejudge is a new website for and about teens and the law, offering everything that teens need to know about the juvenile court system and the laws that affect youth. The creator of the site is a retired judge and Assistant Attorney General of the state of Arizona. Cool!
