Social Networking

Having a Facebook and or Myspace acount for your library can be fun. It would be a good way to bring in the teens. Let them know what is going on in your library and what is new to read. It would take alot man hours to keep up with it all. If a library plans on having an account someone would have to keep up with it. The teens are not going to come if it is not up to date.

For myself I never have even looked at these sites before. I have heard about them, but do not have the time or desire to be on them ( for myself). I heard a newscast just today saying that someone can steal your ID by just your pic and info on these sites. We need to be careful about what we but on these sites and who we let see them.

Now that I have said that. I did get on Facebook and found my friend from college that I never see along with my brother and sister. That was cool.

Why not have a student assistant who, as part of their job duties (and only part), helps to update the Facebook or MySpace page? Since it started as a teen thing and you'll use it to attract teens, why not harness their brains to make it great?!?!
