    I was reading this post on Embodying Shakespeare (and your frequent references to libraries) and wanted to post a quick comment that I thought your readers would be interested in. Hopefully, this post itself is serendipity.

    As the Bard said, ‘Tis better to be brief than tedious, so I’ll be brief.

    Aside from being a reader, I’m with ECNext, AccessMyLibrary’s online marketing agency.

We’re helping Thomson Gale spread the word about online resources available courtesy of local libraries.
