Dylan Sneed
TEXODUS - new tour by Dylan Sneed (co hosted by www.PresentMagazine.com)
Called one of Dallas' "A-list area tunesmiths" (Dallas Observer). His 2007 EP No Worse For The Wear has been called “one of the best local releases of the year.” The Fort Worth Weekly dubbed Sneed's fourth release "epic."
For the Kiddies
Summer= Keep them busy
Keep em busy this summer
June is in full swing and is there a better time to get the babies started on a new project? Something to do besides movies and swimming pools? We have a great section for kids to keep their minds engaged for a few months (at least!). In the kids corner you can all find something. There is oodles of fiction (illustrated classics up to adolecent novellas) as well as fun science and math to keep sharpening those little brains. Also there is a selection of freebies for kids under six- should a book strike their fancy while you're browsing.
A Burning Passion for Books

Q1: Why burn books?
A: As a cultural wake-up call.
Burning books is an inflammatory act. Books can contain our most sacred and valuable thoughts. The Nazis burned books to keep people from reading them. Prospero's burned books to incite you to read - by not reading, the culture is empowering forces like the Nazis. It's giving them exactly what they want without a fight.
