About SL Library 2.0
Alliance Library System and OPAL are teaming up to extend the programs currently offered online to librarians and library users to the Second Life virtual environment. Many libraries of all kinds offer events, lectures, exhibit, collections and training in Second Life.
Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by millions of people from around the globe. There are shopping malls, events, homes, lands of different types, and best of all, participants can contribute content, buildings, and other digital creations.

Eye4YouAlliance on Teen Second Life
As the name suggests, Teen SecondLife is solely for teens between the ages of 13 and 17. The SL Library is, however, able to have an island where librarians can provide service to the kids who drop by. By all accounts, the Eye4YouAlliance Island is very popular!
