Library

  Random information on the mailing lists I run for the Kansas Association of school Librarians.

  A collection of digitized yearbooks from USD 500 (Kansas City, Kansas), via the Kansas City, Kansas Public Library. We have over 460 already digitized. We'll add more yearbooks and begin indexing them as we get time over the next few months.

For what it's worth, I've been a customer of Tiger Technologies
since Aug of 2008 and am very comfortable recommending them
to friends as a hosting solution for web and e-mail.

If you click on the logo above and sign up for service with
Tiger Technologies, I'll get a small referral fee.

First time I've ever felt good enough about a company to
actually sign up for a referral program like this.
