Blogs and Libraries

I think this is a fabulous concept! It's a great way to spread news about what your library is doing and a great way to interact with patrons. I'd like to see more library blogs foster a better commenting environment and encourage it more, but I'm not sure I have the answers on how to do that. I think blogs can be used effectively in all departments of the library - reference, youth services, adult programming, readers advisory, new materials, new library policies, genealogy, business, health, etc. Lets get blogging in our library (which I guess is what we're doing - yay!).
