Hi Greg,

Birmingham Public Library used the application:
http://apps.facebook.com/profile_html/?fb_page_id=7204688220 
</l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fapps.facebook.com%2Fprofile_html%2F%3Ffb_page_id%3D7204688220&h=a2267df70a56c91ccc4347796a6a247b> 


The only thing we dislike like about it is that we can't change the 
heading of the box.

Best,
Melinda Shelton
