Handy! The Maine State Library has announced a new mobile-accessible library, now available at mobile.maine.gov/msl. Unlike some mobile sites, you can also access this one with a regular Web browser.
From the main menu of the Maine State Library mobile site you can quickly get to contact information for the library, FAQs, new audio book information, and — hey! — a list of Maine public libraries with wireless access.
The state of Maine itself also has a mobile site which is available at http://mobile.maine.gov/. This site contains pointers to the latest state news, the weather, voter information, links to public meetings, and lottery numbers.

Huh. Non-anonymous reviewers can increase book sales a lot.
Berkeley: Reading habits over 20 years. I’m surprised The Fountainhead was so high up on the list. Now my head has this horrible Harry Potter and the Fountainhead thing in it — Howard Roark is trying to get the contract to build the new Ministry of Magic while Peter Keating makes hash browns out of an addition to King’s Cross Station. Meanwhile, Ellsworth Toohey co-ops Snape and establishes the Council of European Magicians. A charming subplot involves Gus Webb and Peeves the Poltergeist competing to see how much havoc they can actually raise. I think I have just really hurt my skull.
