How libraries are using Facebook

Well, as a regular user of Facebook- i probably have a quick glance every day, I think that Facebook is an excellent tool for libraries to utilise to stay connected with readers/ users etc, and also to keep them updated with useful info: new publications, revised opening times etc etc.

With FB, as soon as you log in you are faced with all the updates from your friends or pages that you are a fan off. As a library, you could therefore use your status updates to keep anyone that uses your libraries up to date with anything going on...

It is also a good way to invite people to things and let people know of events that are coming up.

It is also a useful forum for discussing and questioning things- so I am guessing that a library could utilise this facility by creating some sort of community on their page.
