Libraries on Facebook
School libraries have now opened the doors of Facebook to all! This seem
to work out great for those who utilize the advantages of having a
Facebook page. As I explore the pages of these school libraries, I see
those that have not been updated since 2012, and then there's the one's
that are even giving other librarians tips on keep the book shelves
organized. Not many comments are left to any of the pages, however the
few comments that were left were of praise to the librarian for doing so
much work for their students. I love the use of Facebook to inform
students and parents of what is happening and what is to come from the
school library. You can post your schedule of events, such as, literacy
nights, book fairs, meet the author, etc. Post times of when the library
is operational to students and for parents. Lots of great use through
Facebook. Highly recommended to all librarians!

Excellent suggestions! Parents are used to FB because of their own use, so it's great to be able to tap into that familiarity with the site to keep everyone informed and connected to the library.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you on FB. There is a lot of potential in this site for library publicity. I'm not sure why more librarians aren't using it as much.
