Thing 3: Photo Sharing

I first learned to use Flickr so I could upload the photos of all the things I've knit. Ravelry (a wonderful knitting and crocheting site) allows you to share your photo of a project, attaches it to the pattern you used, and lets you look at all the creations others have made with the same pattern).

We didn't have one for the library, though, so now we do.

We use the photo frames here at our library as well, thanks to Rebecca, our youth services librarian.  We create slides in Power Point, save them first as .pdf's and then as .jpg's and put them on the memory card.  This way, not only can we share photos, but we can also put up information about upcoming programs, our hours, new books and movies, anything we want people to see. There's one at the front desk and one on Rebecca's desk. Because there's movement involved in the slide show, they really catch people's attention.
