podcasts and libraries
I think that libraries can (with copyright issues considered), place performances such as pantomines, Gold Star events and author talks on the libraries blog page. Therefore customers who wish to revisit the event or who could not attend will be able to do so.
library thing
A fun site where you can see what other people are reading.

Wiki
I think that a wiki will allow users to keep up to date with current library trends, news and research. Within our Library service a wiki would be a great way of accessing policy and procedural information.
Personally I like the Wookiepedia (Star Wars fan).
