STAB now has a presence on MySpace (thanks in part to Nina)! You can find us at http://www.myspace.com/rickobaggins I’ll be posting BLOG entries their as well as using the site to make updates and announcements about STAB and Library programs. (And don't worry, I'll still be using the STABlog to make updates as well http://www.shorstab.blogspot.com/ .) So if you are on MySpace feel free to add me as a "friend" since they don't have an "enemies" or "library board coordinator". I'm also contacting authors as I find them to add them as well. I may also add other teen advisory boards across the country if I feel like it.

Also, don't forget to join the STAB group on MySpace. I'm sure it will be a veritable hoot!

I also want to make clear that if you aren't on MySpace there is no need to join or to ever look at it. I know there has been a lot of news lately about the dangers of MySpace. If you have any concerns about MySpace and want to talk about it, I'll be happy to chat with you. Also, I suppose I should point out that MySpace is currently filtered to to those under the age of 17 in the library, so you will have to find other ways to access the site. Additionally, there are plenty of ads on MySpace, which is a necessary evil, and I doubt I support any of the products they are pitching. Just so you know.

As always, I'm happy to field any questions!
