What an opportunity! Eye4You opened in 2006 and was sustained through July 2009. The Public Library of Charlotte & Mecklenburg County has decided to cease funding of Eye4You. The teen and adult volunteer community were phenomenal in the success of the island. I want to thank everyone for their commitment to Eye4You. It was an adventure and a pleasure to explore your vision of what a virtual library may be able to offer. We’re planning a closing celebration of the island on Saturday, July 11. More details will follow here on the blog.
Please take a moment to read the following summary report regarding Eye4You Alliance island, written by Sabriel Petronius tg / Cerulean Vesperia mg/ Beth Gallaway, library consultant in real life.
Feel free to add your comments.
I’m sorry to hear that Eye4You is closing. You’ve been a real trailblazer in virtual worlds and libraries for teens. I’m sure that you will continue to impact us with outstanding Web 2.0 applications for teens. It was a special community of teens that came together at a
special time and did remarkable things.
Sorry to hear this, you’ve done great work over the past two years! Sure I’ll continue to see you in SL and perhaps meet up at future conferences!
