In this day and age, where Buffalo culturals like the BECPL is receiving nothing more than politically-motivated lip service support from budget slashing conservatives, I think the multitude of apps and social networking and other Web 2.0 things will prove essential in creating a kind of 'guerilla marketing' culture. We as young library padawan learners most be proactive in the defense and promotion of our institutions--both because we'll want jobs someday surely, but also because, as you pointed out, we're a mess of idealists at heart, and idealists are the ones who become activists. After all, no one else will. <br /><br />The NYPL especially is a beautifully ideal-inspiring facade, isn't it? Whenever I stood between those two regal lions, embodiments of a great history and a greater mission, I just wanted to shake any politician or bureaucrat who thinks libraries are unnecessary to communities. Part of what sustains New York as a great city is the vibrant buzz of culture, entertainment, learning, and community that exudes from every branch of the NYPL, even under siege as it is. Every community deserves that.AndAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884856591322801339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554341755145056576.post-13277147733898402992011-09-10T21:56:55.649-07:002011-09-10T21:56:55.649-07:00I went to your flickr, sooo cool.
