I’m at a workshop in Manhattan, KS today and the guest speaker is Jessamyn West of librarian.net fame. She’s talking about all kinds of library 2.0 topics and during her presentation she highlighted some Kansas sites and projects — including Tonganoxie Public Library’s website. If you haven’t seen it, take a look! Cool things are happening in this library (in a town with a population of approx 3500) – both in the building and also virtually. Instant messaging with patrons! Regularly updated content! Photos of people (not just buildings)!
Tonganoxie Public Library is one of the libraries participating in the statewide Kansas Libraries on the Web project (which uses WordPress software, just like this blog). Some of the other sites include: Morrill Public Library in Hiawatha and Atchison Public Library.
