This was a wonderful day on Gozo. I had spent most my trip on the larger island of Malta, but took the ferry over to Gozo for two nights. This day I had rented a bicycle and it was a beautiful, sunny day. I cycled to the sites I wanted to see, and took a lunchbreak eating ravioli at a quiet outdoor cafe looking out over the ocean. I loved the view looking through the flowering bushes here towards the shore and tried to catch it with the camera.
It's one of the many places I would love to go back to, but until then, a glance at a photo like this can bring back a flood of memories or one happy moment in time.
For libraries, the use of Flickr is less reminiscence than it is promotion and creating a sense of shared community, the idea that the library belongs to all of us and we want the user to feel part of it rather than a passive customer. We can let people know what's going on at our library and try to put photos out there that make them feel excited about what they can do there. With links to our website, and importantly, links from our website, we can hopefully pull in more of the audience who use each of those sites.
