50 Feet From the Cutting Edge in the Northeast Kansas Library System

Nice shot

Posted on July 5th, 2007 by Brenda

In so many ways, libraries are worlds of words, but Flickr is really proving that we’ve got a photogenic side, too! At NEKLS, we use Flickr to share photos from our events. Many libraries in the region are also using it to share photos and to keep a photo archive of recent events. Incorporating photos into a library website adds visual interest and a personal and local touch. Try it! You’ll like it! And even if you don’t, it’s free ;) (Or at least there is a free option… if you want more storage space, then there’s a fee – $24.95/year).

Libraries are buildings and libraries are books, but we’re also puppet shows and 5K runs and pre-teen princesses and so much more!

  1. We use Flickr too! It is a great way to share lots of photos without slowing down the webpage. Beck-Bookman Library Photos at http://www.holtonks.net/library see the Flickr link

  2. Thanks Helen, for the great photos. You and the rest of the library staff were very cordial. The nearly normal puppets and I had a great time sharing our love of reading and libraries. Dan D. Lion (pictured) slept all the way home. Good thing I was driving.
