[OPLINTECH] Cleveland Public Library opens new island in Second Life

[Laura Solomon]

**Apologies for cross-posting!**

Cleveland Public Library, of Cleveland, Ohio, is opening a new island in
Second Life on Friday, November 16th.  Cleveland Public Library is the third
largest public research library in the United States, and also is the
largest repository of chess-related items in the world.  The island includes
playable, life-size chess sets, and the Main Library building currently
features an exhibit of historical chess sets owned by the library in real
life.  Also be sure to check out the Photo Gallery (believe us, you'll know
it when you see it!), where we have an exhibit of sheet music related to
Cleveland and Ohio. 

The island will open to the public at 6pm EST, with tours as time and guides
allow.  Grand opening activities will include two live music performances:
Picker Apogee (an Ohio native) at 8pm and Nad Gough at 10pm.  A costume
contest for the best chess-related costume will take place at 9pm, with a
Linden dollar grand prize to the winner.  The life-size chess sets will also
be available for casual or competitive play.  The island can be found in the
InfoIsland Archipelego, adjacent to both the American Library Association
and Stanford University Libraries.  Please IM Lebachai Vesta inworld with
any questions.  If you have an SL avatar, please join us to celebrate this
major opening in Second Life!
