Another mashup site is http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/. Apart from purely digital creations, you can make a photo cube. Something like this would be fun to use for library displays - put in a length of fishing line before folding it up and you could hang it up. Looking at the instructions (I haven't made one, might try it at home!) it seems a rather small cube but I think the template could be enlarged on a photocopier for a bigger cube more suitable for a display.
