Odds and Ends

I've run across some interesting services, sites, and ideas recently that I can't really review (as I haven't used them myself), but which might be worth a mention.

Email lists.  Have a large group of people that you need to email on a regular basis?  MailChimp is a tool to manage email lists, reviewed here by Mark Stout's "Family Tech" column.

Online event registration.  EventBrite and Brown Paper Tickets are online services for managing event registration, reviewed here by TechSoup (along with several other services). Both services are free for free events.

WI Voter info.  You probably knew about this already, but I just ran across it. Look up voter registration and polling place location, look up polling place location for an address, or check Provisional vote status at the The State of Wisconsin Voter Public Access site. 

Library as virtual supermarket.  This library serves as a pickup location for groceries as well as books (probably nothing your library will implement, but an interesting idea!)  http://www.baltimoresun.com/health/bal-md.hs.supermarket18mar18,0,3878327.story
