Owl’s Bay Library (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Owls%20Bay/36/19/28 ) is a place to relax, enjoy a good read, and discuss new and old ideas with friends while listening to good music. This place is the result of a group of friends’ work that like reading and think literature is one of the most important ways to reach knowledge and travel around the globe and other worlds.

Located in Owls Bay, a non-profit and non-commercial sim, the library offers various kinds of literature - from the classics to the great master of English theatre, William Shakespeare. The place has two floors: on the first floor one can find the books to read and choose which one(s) to read and enjoy; on the second floor there are several places to sit and enjoy the reading of the book chosen. 

This place is also used for meetings where discussions about books or other themes can be held. There’s also a desk to use for inspiration in writing articles, poems, short or long stories or creative drawings. The ambiance is cosy and very welcoming since all the walls are surrounded by books that make us feel we are in a real life library.Short Stories Contest

Every month Owls Bay celebrates a theme incorporating the phrase “Once upon a time….” Last month the theme was China, and the celebration included a Short Story Contest with a prize of $L1000. The big winner was Poulana Tokyoska with “The Invented Hours.” The award ceremony took place on the October 25 and was followed by a big ball, and Ms. Tokyoska received the Golden Owl. New month, new contest, and November theme is "Once Upon a Time in a Fairy Tale. Anyone with more than three months in Second Life may participate. All the rules and information can be found at http://owlsbay.wordpress.com/2008/10/26/new-short-stories-contest-fairy-tales/#respond . The Surrounding AreaAfter visiting the library we invite you to see other interesting places nearby. Next to the library it the Owl’s Eye Art Gallery. Here you can see exhibitions dedicated to the month’s theme. The China exhibit is on its last days, and the owners of the sim are preparing the new one.

We have all heard about drama and big scenes in SL that happen in the wrong places. Thinking of that, this sim offers you the “Drama Zone.” It´s the perfect place to argue, yell and be mad at someone.
At the end of the day if you like a little chat and looking at the sea while preparing for the next day, then join the group of people who always gather around the fire near the landing point. Nights there are always nice and cosy.

If you like to have a nice chat while drinking, then you must visit “A Tasca do Imso," or Imso’s Tavern. It has a nice atmosphere and it a place to play jambe (an African drum), or dance with your friends. The tavern is also the place where the monthly trivia game takes place.

Travel with us as through a winter wonderland to Santa's workshop, a snowy Renaissance Village, a busy ski lodge, a romantic never never land of moonlight and ice and other places where you can enjoy the season from the comfort of your computer chair while sipping your hot chocolate as long as you don't get any on the keyboard. Cheers and Happy Holidays!The best time of year in Second Life is the period from the end of November through mid to late February when SL snow starts to fall all over and holiday decorating and events begin to take place including the annual Winterfest of winter themed activities and attractions.  ...

Mystery Manor Celebrates the Birthday of Edgar Allen Poe "The Father of Mystery"

News image

Text by BOOKIE BALOGH Photos by VERDE OTAARED As this is a major year for Edgar Allen Poe, Mystery Manor is recognizing him with a diverse and fascinating series of displays and events.  According to Cyndi Uriza (Cynthia Alvarado in real life), “We thought since this is the bicentennial of Poe's birth, we should give credit to him as the father of the mystery genre.”  Paralleling the real life recognition of this significant author within Second Life has been a fascinating process, according to Uriza. Stop by Mystery Manor to see the exhibit, which will be continuing into November.  Covering Poe’s life, family, works and death, it is an entrancing look at the various aspects of an author who has made a major impact on the mystery genre – indeed, who created that genre in its modern form. Mystery Manor had a grand opening of the exhibit, with a series of readings ...
