This shows a recent student project which has local studies elements.  You can read the aim below.

Hey everyone, I've designed a 21 day challenge to help connect and celebrate Reading whilst boosting my social media skills. It starts on march the 1st and it would be great to see some of you get involved! You can find more info at the link in my bio! #RDG21 #challenge #photo #reading #socialmedia #instagram #rdguk

This has great prompts for local studies. You can read more about it here. The following image show the statistics for participation.

Finally got around to creating the final stats for #RDG21 - I would like to thank everyone who got involved or even just kept up to date on the challenge, I hope you learnt something new about Reading! https://t.co/mlbYIvNlox

Have a look on twitter and instagram for the hashtag #rdg21 and you will see some lovely local studies images.  As you can see from the image below, similar things have been done elsewhere, but it is still something few libraries have tried. It would be interesting to see if you could turn up new photographs to collect as a result of something like this.

We're launching a new Instagram Photo Challenge and we want you to participate! Get out and explore your community in April. Show us your favorite local places and what makes Orlando unique using the hashtag #oclslovesorlando. We'll repost some of our photo favorite submissions during the month. Now get out there and start sharing! #orlando #ocfl #whyorlando #downtownorlando #obrag #localloveorlando #loveocls #orlandodoesntsuck #orlandolife #alocalthing #libraries #library #librariestransform #librariesofinstagram
