You Tube Vidoes
NJ Libraries
Great rap by the young adults of the area who visit the library.
People are interviewed and state they like the library for the homework help, the computers and a place to study. Great way to have the customers involved in their local library.
Q and ANJ Open Late Night
The approach of a takeaway, late night access to the Library (like McDonalds) was unique and fun. Librarians are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week via email for assistance.

Showcasing oral history
Broken Hill Olive Riley returns to Broken Hill
"Extracts from a film called all about Olive" showcases the life of Olive who is now 107. Wonderful for giving a first hand account of the past and in the film relates her childhood to present day children. Of personal interest as my mother comes from Broken Hill and I worked in Broken Hill.
