Why does the library have an island in Teen Second Life?
Learning how to navigate in 3D environments whether it’s for online education courses (many universities and even middle schools are using second life to teach!) or participating in other events, is something the library can help with.
ImaginOn has Teen Second Life installed on laptops in the Loft and offers classes in the Tech Central lab. Want second life installed at your branch? Let us know!
