Social Opacs?

Our users are smart, clever, interesting, positive, intuitive, and social. They may not know it yet, but they’re waiting for their public libraries to be a catalyst for the community. There is something wonderfully special and intimate about shared experience–that is why Web 2.0 is so successful. When those experiences are centered around books, movies, and music and they’re aggregated at the local level, the product becomes highly personal–how inspiring would it be to have patrons who are proud of the job they’ve done for their library?
This feel a need I felt for my own library when I first started work here. We’re a long way from this but it’s a nice goal to aspire to.
