I do agree that Social Media is a great tool for Libraries. This course was very interesting and it did offer some idea's I hadn't thought of before. I do feel with my library that Facebook and Twitter are the way to go. I am still trying to build up our followers on Facebook but it seems in this small town not too many of our patrons are into Social Media. I feel like I am forcing it on them at times and there is very little interest shown by them.
For us I think it would be a waste of time to use Instagram, or Youtube. In bigger areas or libraries with a younger patron following it would be a great tool for their libraries.
I use our Facebook page to keep patrons up to date on new book arrivals, magazine, and special events at the library or in our town. One of our top posts was the picture I shared of the new sitting area furniture that we added recently. Facebook is a great way to reach your community and to let them see that there are some exciting and fun things going on at their library.
I am trying to link our Facebook page to our Twitter account. When you link the two, everything you post on your Facebook page goes automatically to your Twitter.
