Every morning I get an e-mail from CNN. It is called 5 things. It covers the top 5 stories of the morning plus a section called 'breakfast browse' followed by 'this just in...' ending with 'and finally...'. Each story is usually just a sentence and a link to the full story if you should want to pursue it.
Each heading is like a section in the newspaper. Breakfast browse includes sports news and things to look forward to. 'this just in...' usually starts with a number. But my favorite part is 'and finally...'
The 'and finally...' section is almost always a video that they've found. These videos can be on any subject from a massive work of falling dominoes to a wildlife camera in Canada to a video on how pencils are made.
Today's video is a compilation of short videos on libraries. A collection of collections. It's 13 minutes long but watch to the end for the smell library. It doesn't even come close to being complete but it's interesting. I saved the number to my phone for the Ask NYPL line.

Just as an 'oh by the way' side note. The CNN email features a 10 question quiz on Sunday that tests your attention to the week's news stories. It's fun for us competitive types.

We must get together and come up with an interesting question and call the NYPL line, sometime!
