Every once in awhile, I run across a truly amazing project that totally makes my heart smile.
This one tonight really caught me off guard …
for it’s so
beautifully simple (both application and approach)
in capturing the core essence of what
libraries are really all about… community & sharing stories
Remember When - A collaborative, web based story writing project by Ipswich seniors in partnership with the Ipswich Library
My hat is off tonight to the Ispwich Library & Information Service! Through the use of the PBwiki (a free wiki hosting site) they’ve created a wonderful model for libraries of any size to duplicate with or without funding.
Take a look around this wonderful collection of stories and see if you don’t agree?
PS: Thanks Polly for the link. You're right, It's wonderful.

I would truly love to do this in our neighborhood. We even have some local folks who are doing local history stuff with high school kids. I think we need to start soon to take full advantage of some of our aging community leaders. Are you going to lead the charge in this direction?
Helen. I followed a path of links from Polly's site.. and came across Digital Inspiration.. a real gem of a 2.0 website. Here is the link... http://www.labnol.org/
a little off-topic, but we can go there, yes?
