Find way of improving public libraries service

For year the public libraries had been talking about increasing membership and circulation , But it strike my head that as libraries we need to improve our service and promote information need . I look at the core function of libraries, to check for the gaps and areas of improvement. We promote reading, story telling for children and assisting school children with their project. For this year we have decide to visit school and teach  information literacy at school . 

I thought the best way is to introduce podcast technology and move away from our traditional way of doing thing. And because  Web 2.0  had given us the best platform to improve own service and promote interaction and community participation .I will like to tell you what is podcast and how does it work..A definition comes from dictionary a digital audio file made available on the Internet for downloading to a computer or mobile device, typically available as a series, new instalments of which can be received by subscribers automatically
