Thing # 15

I enjoyed reading John Blyberg's "11 reasons why library 2.0 exists and matters."
My thoughts on L2 can be summed up in Sarah Houshton's definition of L2:
"Libary 2.0 simply means making your library's space (virtual and physical) more interactive, collaborative, and driven by community needs. Examples of where to start include blogs, gaming nights for teens, and collaborative photo sites. The basic drive is to get people back into the library by making the library rrelevant to what they want and need in their daily lives...to make the library a destination and not an afterthought."

Public Libraries play a important role in the community and have a dual obligation of providing the basic service such as early literacy skills etc. as well as keeping up with Librarian 2.0. At LCPL we are providing service at most varied levels i.e. Babygarten to Blogs! This is only the beginning...
