Second Life Avatar Promotes Reading

This past weekend was the mid-winter planning meeting for the American Library Association. For those unable to attend in real life (RL), they were invited to attend some functions in Second Life (SL). Here is my avatar. I was only able to visit on two of the four days.

READ Mini-Posters - NEW from ALA

Seen first on the Ms Mac, Library Lady blog, who learned about it on the Librarian in Black blog, is the American Library Association's cool fill-in-a-face-or-photo READ mini-poster. In just 3-4 easy steps, you can:

1. Choose a photo on your computer (Browse...)
2. Select one of four styles: Americana, Newspaper, Techno, or Rocket
3. Add TEXT (optional)
4. CREATE.

The first few photos I experimented with didn't work well -- too blury or simply rejected. Here is one with my summer avatar wearing a "READ" T-shirt. there are 4 poster options. This one is the Techno style, which allowed my avatar's head to be visible.
