For this thing I used Roxio to create a little slideshow. It was very simple to use. It even let me grab photos directly from my Facebook account which was awesome since I don't have a Flickr account. (It seems like everything is Flickr this and Flickr that. For some reason I'm just not that into Flickr. But then again, I wasn't that into Facebook when it first came out. I think it was the whole "poke" thing that turned me off originally.) So, for my slideshow I used more pictures of my family. Sur-prise, sur-prise! I made a really quick little slideshow, but I think it turned out really cute.
I use Smilebox at home. I use it a lot to send pictures of my daughter to family members or to create e-cards. (I always forget to mail an actual card before someone's birthday. So, a picture of Sariya makes it all better.) It's much the same with backgrounds, different text effects and music. It too is free. I like free!
Both of these things could easily be put to use in the library as a marketing tool. We could publish photos from events that we have held. We could have a slideshow of the librarians in the dept. with different books that they recommend. You could even share a story this way. There are a ton of different things that you could do with these tools.
