Library 2.0

If Library 2.0 includes customizing the patron experience while at the library then I would have to question this. I think patrons are already attracted to the library in droves due to the fact that we offer "their space" in the form of free internet access. In my opinion, patrons enjoy the freedom of getting onto the internet and travelling cyberspace "their" way. Teen gaming night is getting pretty far out there in terms of the length the library will go in trying to lure teens into the library. Dude...since we are throwing taxpayer dollars at expensive gaming equipment, why don't we also build a skate park in the parking lot or offer free bus service to the local snowboard park!

What do you think about libraries taking part in social networking sites?

I now have a My Space account and it is an OK space to have. I feel like the "advertisements" are taking up way too much of my space though. On my first visit to a "random" My Space account I came upon a bunch of porno photos and so I am quite unsure of My Space as a place where Libraries might want to hang out.
