Learning 2.0

It's very interesting and exciting to see the way that web 2.0 is revolutionizing the way people look at and use the internet. Even more exciting (personally speaking) is the idea of library 2.0 and how it is making libraries more accessible, user friendly, innovative, and technologically savvy!
There are still some (meaning just about everybody) people I talk to outside of work that when I say, "I work at a library", the first thing that they say is, "Wow, you must read a lot!". It never fails that it's a good reason to "lol" for a moment and then I get to go into letting them know that even though books are a huge part of what we do, there are so many other things that we offer... Library 2.0 speaks to exactly that and how we should be reaching out to everyone we can and inviting them to discover what the library has to offer for their own personal use.

Nicely written. You've got a great philosophy of what we're about. I'm sure you're a great ambassador for the L.
