Lester Public Library 2010, Lester Public Library's Photostream, viewed 23rd March 2010, [www.flickr.com/photos/lesterpubliclibrary]
The Lester Public Library has found a creative way of promoting themselves on Flickr by posting photos not only of the library but of their hometown - Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
The photos give a visual account of the numerous events and activities in the library and can be viewed under the following links: collections, sets, tags, archives, galleries and people (although these last two are under construction). The photos can also be viewed by year, starting from 2007.
The "Favourites" link displays the libraries favourite photos by other Flickr members while the "Profile" link provides detailed written information about the library itself: its location, bookclubs, library events and an exploration of their newly digitised collections. Links to their My Space, Facebook and Twitter accounts are provided as is link to their blog.
The "Two Rivers Events and Living" link shows stunning scenery shots of Two Rivers as well as photos of special events such as the Apple Fest.
Overall a well thought out, authoritative and functional site which successfully promotes the library and its surrounding area. I recommend anyone interested in libraries and travelling to visit this site.

Wow I see what you mean this is great. Your citation is excellent too. If you just cut your very good evaluation down to 6 sentences (yes I know its hard but that's what we need!!) yyou will have completed this component of the exercise.
