Please visit my Flickr group, China International Summit on Public Libraries, and provide me with photographs to support my keynote speech, "Public Library Outreach in the Digital Age," at the International Summit on Public Libraries. This will take place in Shenzhen, China from November 16-20.

I will be sharing stor...ies about US public libraries and look forward to receiving photos that tell the story of public library service. Photographs of unique public library spaces, digital mobile units, outreach sites, screen shots from web sites; all are welcome. Please make sure I can credit your library and/or your photographer.

Thank you all so much.

Flickr is almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application in the world. Show off your favorite photos and videos to the world, securely and privately show content to your friends and family, or blog the photos and videos you take with a cameraphone.
