Digital Public Library of America
The DPLA offers a series of digital exhibitions that “tell stories of national significance through sources and narrative, created by librarians and historians.”
Art & Culture
As we move into the colder, rainy months, though, we may be looking for something to do and see off campus and indoors. Bowling is fun, and indoor rock climbing or a movie keeps us occupied, but the Bay Area offers other amazing things right in our own backyard that we tend to forget about. How about a little treasure hunting?
Go Build Your World
Creating our own computer worlds online has become a popular pastime. “Sandbox”-type games–those with a great degree of freedom of movement and creative potential–are immensely popular. Boasting an active user population of more than 120 million people worldwide, Minecraft is the king of them all.
The Bay Area Book Festival, May 1-9
Considering for a moment the bookish path of this past year, we are happy to celebrate this week that the Bay Area Book Festival is launching the 7th year of its annual event. This self-proclaimed “bridge to everywhere” event begins May 1st and runs through May 9th.
Exploring our public libraries
We are fortunate to have such an array of public library resources in our greater communities. Taking them for granted would be a mistake. They are a great gift to be recognized and taken advantage of. Generations of Americans have not had access to the services that are accessible to everybody today. For free. How awesome is that?!
Computer Science Education Week
Padres are fortunate to have access to devices, Internet service and computer science education, but not everyone does. Many non-profit educational organizations are working hard to change that!
