Twitter is fun because it's like blogging in text messages. It's a super fast and easy way of letting your friends know where you are, what you're doing, or what you're thinking about. It's actually a lot like the "status update" feature on Facebook. I like it because I can connect with my friends who live in other parts of the world.

If you have a Twitter account, make me your friend! This is obvs not my personal Twitter account, but it IS where you will find out info about the Darien Library, new books, new movies, new interesting websites, etc. It's also a great way to get in touch with me.

Add add add!!

Even if you're not old enough to vote, it's important to think about where you stand on the issues and how you feel about the two presidential candidates. There's a lot of information out there and Senator Obama and Senator McCain have both made many statements about where the other stands on particular issues. So who do you believe?

That's when FactCheck.org comes in. It's bipartisan, which means it doesn't take sides. You can find out what the truth is about claims that both candidates have made. It's a great way to be involved in the political process and make sure that you're not allowing those tricky political ads to be your only source of information!

If you're an obsessed Twilight fan (I know you're out there!), maybe you should consider going to Forks, Washington, the home of Edward and Bella. If you did, you wouldn't be alone: according to the Today Show, thousands of people have been visiting the rainy little town.

You can visit Bella and Edward's houses, the police station where Bella's father works, and the hospital where Edward's father is a doctor, among other infamous Twilight locales.
