17+ things to do with your Digital Photos!

This website is my NEW FAVE!!!
Not only can you make trading cards out of family members, but you can turn your dog into a Picasso, your husband into a WANTED Poster, scrapbook on a scrap-blog, or create a music video, brochure or newsletter. I turned my daughter into a postage stamp, at right. So fun, I spent an hour playing around. Great gaga gift potential here. And something unique for the next party invite!

WLS Learns!

Well, I am once again participating in a web 2.0 project to expand my mind and learn. (Yippeee!)
When I did this same thing with other librarians two years ago, I was very successful, and really enjoy my blog, Roseann-the-librarian.blogspot.com; and
going on FLickr to see pictures from our Riverfront Programs:
(Just Google us, for instance, Yonkers Library); contacting teens
via MySpace about our AniManga Club (See:URL: myspace.com/animangaypl);
and working in Wikipedia to create the Yonkers Public Library Page, with John Favareau, the local Historian.
Hope everyopone enjoys this program. I found it very useful.
We also created Wikis at our library to keep track of favorite websites for Ready Reference and frequently-asked-for webpage documents, like hard to locate tax forms. The sky's the limit!
Just have fun.

GOODREADS.Com totally Rocks for Librarians!

Hello faithful readers!
I have been an active Member of Goodreads.com for several months now, and I am very happy to report that is has exceeded by expectations.
Not only do I have a great record of what I have read, but I have emailed with authors (even famous ones like Neil Gaiman), I have befriended new librarians in other states, and I have kept track of what my crazy friends are reading.
Finally, I have entered and finally won a free ARC copy of a new book to review for Goodreads audience members.
Please check out Goodreads, a social networking, email, bragging, hard-reading and fun website for those not afraid to read!
Enjoy www.GoodReads.com
