For recommendations, the most obvious one I think would be for the library to have its own website. From here it could have its own RSS feed and perhaps other Web 2.0 facilities of its own such as a Facebook page or a Twitter page. This would be primarily for self-marketing. It also encourages interest in the library and its collections and services through the stimulus people get through communicating with eachother and being a part of something. Examples of this are the Ultimo TAFE Library blog at http://sydneyinstituteonline.net/uclibrary/ and the New York Public Library blog at http://www.nypl.org/blog.
Perhaps RSS feeds for Children’s, Teenage/Youth, Adult Fiction and Information/Reference would be in order so that reading and borrowing in these areas is encouraged. Also it would be good to have the blog page, Twitter page, etc interlinked in order to ease access to these tools and thus encourage their use; the Ultimo TAFE Library blog is an example of this.
