The Hobbit Lives

The long-delayed movie version of The Hobbit, directed by Peter Jackson, is scheduled for release as two films, a year apart, beginning in December 2012. Though the production has suffered through numerous snafus, the movie is truly on course for its intended release. The officlal site for the film, TheHobbitBlog.com, helps negate any doubts that the cast and crew are in working mode.

Staff Reads Blog - We're really working hard at putting quality reading, listening, and viewing suggestions out there for our patrons to enjoy. The blog covers a wide range of topics, from summer reads to classics, graphic novels to history, and includes movies, music, and books. With about 10 suggestions a month, you can keep current with what the librarians are reading and see what's catching our attention!

Twitter - Want to stay updated on events at the library, weather-related closings, and other cool things that catch our eye? Follow our tweets at http://twitter.com/wellesleylib

del.icio.us - Helping us maintain a list of websites that we find useful in answering your questions is this innovative website that allows users to "tag" a website with words that helps us find it again when the need arises. Check out our list of websites that we've found useful and pick up some new tricks!
