A picture is worth a thousand words. It is amazing all the editing you can do with the internet. I really enjoy the creativity which comes with these websites. I would love to host a comic strip workshop for kids grades 5-8. I think they would have a lot of fun. We could make our own comic books. Turning an english writing assignment into a blurb would be another great workshop. I love the idea of tapping into kids natural creativity to connect them with books and learning.

library 2.0

I get so excited when I read about all the new ways to view books. I think the published word will always win out over ebooks. The social network which can occur around a book or a collection is wonderful. Cataloging your own collection, sharing this with friends, searching other collections, discussing books with the world. The numerous ways you can relate books to a child, Oh how wonderful.
A personalized library will be the library of the future.

libraries: Back to the future

I think we will always need libraries and librarians. The more information available the more the need for help sifting through it and find the right info. Only a Librarian will be able to do that.
The only thing constant in life is change and libraries and librarians will have to change to remain prominent to the public. I find this to be the biggest hurdle in libraries. WE all have to learn how to connect or reconnect with our patrons.
