Library in an airport

Worlds first library in an airport.
Schiphol airport in the Netherlands now has a library.

"Airport Library is aimed at passengers on intercontinental flights who often have long waiting times for their (connecting) flight. The library offers these travellers an exciting and inspiring way to spend their waiting time."

 

Funded by a grant from the Ministry of Education - no less.

Cordell Thompson's folktale resource

Look under the Folk Tales Tab and you will find a whole lot of information on Bahamian folktales and some actual tales.
Cordell Thompson's Blog

He hasn't added any thing since early this year but what he has there is a whole lot of information.
