Thing 6. Online Image Generators

How could we use this? Trading cards, license plate bookmarks, displays, logos, crafts for story hours, promotional materials, icons for webpages and reading lists, introducing staff, creating and promoting new programs and databases...and so much more.

It would take some promotion and education on our part to start having our patrons look for us on Flickr and Facebook and YouTube, etc, but I think it is such a creative and up-to-date way to reach patrons comfortable with the internet. We need to grow and change. These are proven sites - with staying power. The time invested in setting up up these pages and creating the neat things that can be done I think is time well spent. Setting aside some of my free time to do these Things as been an easy decision...finding work time would be nearly impossible. It might be worth training well-supervised volunteers, or training each staff member to take on a part.
