At 12:43pm on May 18, 2007, Denise Mogge said…: some have problems with the concept of 'freedom of choice' - especially those that really want to control your choices! Not that libraries can provide everything available... but PTV & public libraries do suffer from an appalling lack of funding - especially since the golden age (for ptv at least) of the 70s.

Thank you for adding me to your friends list. I'm enjoying reading about your implementation of 2.0, Twitter, etc. as I know Casa Grande is growing in population, right now.
(I still remember summers on the border and swamp coolers which have disappeared in the era of refrigerated air conditioning units!)

Casa Grande Library Twitter

I did it! I was able to take all of the library's notifications and put them into twitter.

I set up our twitter account at http://twitter.com/cglibrary

Then I dumped all of the library's rss feeds into http://www.rss2twitter.com

Now everytime the library has an update, a library event, a new book or video, or new newsletter, it goes automatically to twitter. If the content is too

My library is just starting to implement many library 2.0 concepts. The thing I think is neat about websites like MySpace, Flickr, and Photobucket is that all this stuff is free.
