Just a quick idea: I was reading this article, and it struck me that a local history wiki hosted by the public library but involving local people, businesses, organizations, who knows what, would be a really cool thing! Simple Google search turns up a couple of communities that are already doing it, like this one and this one. I want to do some research and see what it would take to fund this for Mattawan, Van Buren County, Southwest Michigan ... Just imagine how much ground you could cover and how many people of all ages you could engage ... And all the library programs it could spawn, teaching Web 2.0 to seniors and students, historical presentations, 21st century oral history workshops ...
But realistically, this is a good idea for someone ... My plate's pretty full already. I'm just going to put the idea out there for now and get back to my homework.
