My local library is one of the branches of the City of Sydney Library Network. This library network does an excellent job using web 2.0 technologies. Their different web activities include:
-

The above list is excellent collection of web 2.0 gadgets, but somehow those posts are not addressed to the smaller local communities of the branches. So here is a suggestion how my local library could improve on that.
The population is young and the community is just forming in the Alexandria-Zetland area...The Green Square Library already does a good job in providing mums and babies some programs. Rhymetime for babies is now on weekly at Green Square.( It is a lapsit program that combines rhymes, music, singing, board books, puppets and toys to develop early literacy skills.)
The interest is obviously there from the patrons, so a collection of great parenting blogs posted on the library's website would definitely catch the attention of a lot of mothers. Miscalenious Mum on http://miscmum.com/ or The Sharpest Pencil on http://sharpestpencil.wordpress.com/ are just two great examples about the community these blogs create.Here is a futher example from the NSW State Library about how to collect and share blogs on different subjects and make it accessible to the public/ patrons:http://www.sl.nsw.gov.au/about/publications/blogs.html?HomeLink=Share
