A defining characteristic of an Athenæum is to be a "venue for intellectual exchange" (Boston Athenæum website, retrieved 9/18/12). Playgrounds are venues for play, typically for children, outdoors. Both places of learning and growth are usually that -- physical places in the world. I'm a lifelong learner, and this is one of my blogs.

Because it's important to know the territory...
When we put new hardcover library books on the shelves we attach their dustjackets with Mylar covers, which can make it hard to see art on the interior of the jackets or covers. A student reading Catherine Fisher's Relic Master series was looking for access to a hi-res map of the countryside of the fantasy world, and we were lucky to find (through a Google Image search) that illustrator Dave Stevenson's agent Jennifer Vaughn has shared one through her blog.
For more information about the series, check out the reviews on goodreads.
