try the lab next door
Korean War news
New York Times Historical

american memory confusion

pretty wordpress library blog

Carthik points out the Cass County Library web site. The navigation mouseovers on the moon image work very differently in Internet Explorer and Firefox. I think this is the first example I’ve seen of a wordpress powered library home page.
