10 Ways for Library Patrons to Improve Their Libraries

Ed “Superpatron” Vielmetti has created a list of 10 things library advocates can do to make libraries better:

1. Blog about your library.
2. Request the books you want to read.
3. Borrow by interlibrary loan the books your library doesn’t have.
4. Browse the library catalog with your kids.
5. Connect your library catalog with LibraryThing.
6. Connect your library catalog to Amazon.
7. Remix the library catalog into your own applications.
8. Add a librarian to your instant message or Twitter buddy list.
9. Put a library reference desk on your cell phone speed dial.
10. If you don’t have time to browse the stacks, reserve online.
