365 Library Days Project / Discuss

Got tired of *Searching for parts, so I created a blog --entirely of my community. --Events, Arts, local politics, Food, etc. and put in Sidebar: headings, links;
Above each heading I put: a flickr badge --one photo --related to heading/topic. (e.g. badge of "Typewriters" above local newspaper links; "Cottages, hand-built" --above "Property" links.)
Under "Library": I listed four --that surround our boundary;
and -"Friends --dreaming of ----"
--a proposed library IN our community. Flickr badge above: tada!

Then I wrote to 'Friends of' group and told them about your Pool-goal and my blog, suggesting they join you --document Ground-break Day to Opening Day. Then entire community could 'follow along.'

Perhaps: telling you one way/how this Pool linked --will influence what you photograph. e.g. Photos of "people" --just standing --does not say "library" to someone Outside of your community. --Unless, i.e. kids standing at check-out desk --for a 'hot' book(!)....

I want to See! --what does your library look like? --Rural rustic charmer --Urban underground faceless --Suburban beauty --1950s cozy --Cutting-edge wow? --Skylight --best door knobs anywhere --handicap room/ramp --totally remodeled for? --A front ramp would destroy --pic: beautiful/Beaux Arts/WPA staircase? --What is nearby?
--A pic: card-catalog --cuz it's well-used? --'Whats a "card catalog" --only have: puters'? --Pics of: Mostly Known for? --Busiest time? --You all Pic: --during quietest time?

--Favorite thing --Pic: --when patrons ask you for/to do what?

--Pics --books Your community reads? --The ones causing political/ other 'Grief'? --What is Lucky you got Shot of it --cuz it's Out the Door, to next-waiting reader? --"Poetry" --X --NEVER needs straightening? --Pics --Most popular records? --'What's a "record" --Pics: tapes? --What mags do you Make Sure to renew? --High Schoolers Actually check-out the --Pics? --What's Hot for tots to eyeball? --Senior adults can't get enough --what --Pics? --You need more What --for boys? --Most Popular lectures --pics? --Pics: --X --made the most money? --Pics: Most Unusual Group that meets --because --Pics? --Pics --Cowboys/ business/single parents --rely on you for --Pics?

Also: "thumbnail" is VERY small photo size --Bold and high contrast read better (think: checkerboard) --while Pics of tiny objects:
'disappear' --can't be understood. Just my thoughts.

Will let you know what the 'Friends of' group say, if they reply.
