A colleague sent me a link to this intriguing blog, Pigs will fly. It is an Australia-wide network that focusses on "small business, tourism and community information that we hope helps concerned Australians balance the ‘sustainability quadruple bottom line’ of socio-cultural, economic, environmental and governance elements that we deal with on a daily basis."
Of particular interest to me is their focus on the 'grey nomads', retirees with an interest in travel in the Australian outback. They connect grey nomads with skills and property owners in outback Australia in need of an experienced electrician, plumber, painter, builder/carpenter.
How are public libraries meeting the needs of grey nomads?
- is wifi free or low cost?
- do you have to be a local resident to use the public access internet and pcs?
- can they borrow from your library?
- is a temporary membership available?
- is the library advertising at the local tourist information office?
- does the library have local tourism information available?
