The New Alberta Childrens Hospital

Childrens


Image by Sherlock77 (James)

Today is opening day for the brand new building of the Alberta Childrens Hospital, a rather distinctive and colourful building perched high atop a hill overlooking the Trans Canada highway as it passes through Calgary... The old hospital is rather bland in comparison...

Actually, the emergency room in the new hospital just opened its doors for the first time as I type this...

Our first cartoon model

Cartooning


Image by alumroot

I am working on a project to create physical models of biological molecules with our ZCorp color 3D printer. Thanks to some brilliant people at my institution, we are reaching the stage where can create these models in cartoon form. If you have ever watched Nova or some other science program, you have likely seen these types of models spinning on your television screen. Now, imagine being able to hold it in the palm of your hand, fabricated in full color. I am still amazed at this.

Banned Books Week Banner

Books


Image by DML East Branch

During Banned Books Week, we show our support of the intellectual freedom and the freedom to read. One of the reccuring images we have used each year is this banner we created with 99 of the 100 most banned books for the years 1990-2000. There are a surprising number of literary classics, children's books and books we've all grown up reading at home, in the library and at school. Authors like Roald Dahl, Stephen King, Judy Blume and Chris Crutcher even have several titles on this list!

Can you figure out which book is missing? (lulu852 was the first to guess the answer HERE.)

What is your favorite Banned Book?
How many have you read?
Pretty soon the list for years 2000-2010 will be released, what are your guesses about the books we'll see on that list? One thing we're fairly certain of, Harry Potter (series) will feature pretty high on the list!

Check out this incredible short film David Jewell made teasing the full-length documentary online!

Your library will always support your choice to read, and your choice to not read any of these books. We feel the best way to support your freedom to read is to make sure no one else makes that choice for you. Stop by your local library and enjoy your freedoms, and all that the library has to offer!
