The 2007 Southern Adirondack Library System LSTA grant project is an opportunity to learn about, experience and play with Library 2.0 tools used to promote user-centered services in your community
In order to discover which technology tools might be appropriate for your community we are offering a series of hands on workshops and designated days to work on a project. In April we will share stories about our Library 2.0 trials and errors and celebrate our successes.
