From a personal view it is a great way to share a hobby, make that passion, with photographers locally and around the world, digital photography and the internet where made for each other.
From a library and particularly a local studies resource, the response to local events reflected in some flickr groups, the Newcastle June Storm of 2007 for example show how local photographers
recorded that event.The ability to comment on images and share a common experience showed that all thought the vastness of the internet was the common platform the sense of local community was strongly to the fore.

Libraries could establish their own Flickr group or similar to preserve this contemporary image history.
