Blog Intro-Real Life Outreach for Public Libraries

Many public  libraries have Flickr pages,twitter accounts,myspace and facebook accounts and a presence in Second Life. Let other bloggers and library students talk about how these efforts are bringing in the already tech-savvy patrons into the library. I  am not interested in talking about the shiniest new application or gadget.  Instead, I want to talk about the foot soldiers of the public  library world involved in the simplest yet most effective form of contact: face-to- face conversations and connections with future adult patrons in such diverse real-life settings as jails and street fairs.

I want to find examples of their hardwork and discuss new programs that we can all learn from.
