Innovative privately run Public Library with NewGenLib

Hi all NewGenLib open source bloggers

I am delighted to bring to your attention a unique experiment: A public library started by a young and enterprising, and socially commited individual, actually a hard-core IT professional. The new library called Just Books is in Bangalore, India. The library has "a wide range of books for every type of reader - toddlers to teens, dabblers to bookworms under a modern ambience with effective use of technology" as the blurb that appeared in a Sunday newspaper in Banglore says. I am also delighted to let you know that the library uses NewGenLib with RFID.
I urge my friends to visit the blog page,
http://shastrix.blogspot.com/2008/06/just-books-in-whitefield.html and also listen to the audio clip that is posted on the page by a visitor to Just Books.

Some of you who live in Bangalore should visit this place and share your thoughts.

Dear Sir,

I am very happy to inform you that we are able to run NewGenLib on Linux SUSE Enterprise Version 10 and is running just fine. I am in the process of consolidating all my experiences with NewGenLib right from downloading to installation and its successful run on the server.

Sir, I wish to know whether we can integrate Susha or Kruti Dev fonts with NewGenLib for making Hindi entries. By default NewGenLib allows Mangal font. But the other two fonts are much user friendly than Mangal.

Regards,

Kshema
