[Publib] Electronic Displays in the Foyer

[danielle plumer]

I have a vague memory of a public library having a "movie area" near
the circ desk. When it wasn't otherwise in use, they decided to play
Book TV from CSPAN-2, and it was an enormous success. You can get to
some shows on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/booktv) and, using a bit
of jiggery-pokery, download them to embed in your PowerPoint!
