The Library Society of the World

image for the new LSW coloring contest; please see post for details and a printable version

Let’s do it again! Using my expert librarian searching skillz, I have located this dubiously copyrighted image and made it into a coloring sheet for you all. Download and print yourself a PDF copy (or upload it into Photoshop or whatever you want to do), color, embellish, destroy, do whatever, and then send it back by September 1, 2010 to

Laura Crossett
LSW Clubhouse North
PO Box 85
Meeteetse, WY 82433

Or, if you insist, you can rescan the sucker and email it to me at newrambler at gmail dot com (but if you send it to me in the mail, I’ll send you something in return).

Update 8/10/10: Thanks to LSW member N.Ansi, we now also have an .svg version, which is handily editable in Inkscape.

LSW is now on Goodreads! Come join us!

Abigail Goben organized and edited a cool video showing a worldwide bunch of LSW members and allies singing Jonathan Coulton‘s song “Code Monkey.” It’s terrific!

Finally! I have posted the entries from the LSW Coloring Contest (blogged here previously). You can see the entries on Flickr (or in the slideshow below) and then vote (once only, please) for your favorite. You can also nominate any entry for a special award.

A prize (at least one) is at stake. Please vote responsibly.

Not that you should feel compelled to discuss before making changes, but in case you want to, we’re doing a little bit of brainstorming about the site on the new wiki.

The Library Society of the World has switched from Drupal to WordPress. We’re now rebuilding the site from scratch. If you’d like to help us out, let us know.

The Drupal site hasn’t gone away completely, but it’s been relocated to drupal.thelsw.org.
