The trading cards could be used in numerous ways within the library. I think it would be fun for public libraries to create and print these cards as a promotional give-away to kick off a summer reading program. I could see creating some ot these and then posting them to the library Web site for special events during the year. For example, if it is getting close to Halloween or Banned Books week or if you wanted to create a list of "hot reads" or "new items" etc. you could create several of these to highlight items in your collection that pertain to the theme. In the description field you could give a descripton of the book or why it was banned etc. Then you could add a special link to the library site where it could run like a slide show and people could peruse the latest items you are promoting.
