Library 2.0 emphasizes transforming libraries into interactive and community-driven spaces, utilizing tools like blogs, wikis, and social media to enhance user engagement. It encourages libraries to adopt new technologies and practices to meet the needs of their patrons, making them relevant and inviting destinations. Key concepts include collaboration, communication, and utilizing platforms like Flickr and YouTube to promote library events and resources.

7. Library 2.0 “ Library 2.0 simply means making your library’s space (virtual and physical) more interactive, collaborative, and driven by community needs. Examples of where to start include blogs, gaming nights for teens, and collaborative photo sites. The basic drive is to get people back into the library by making the library relevant to what they want and need in their daily lives…to make the library a destination and not an afterthought.” -- Sarah Houghton, Librarian in Black
