Original post:

Does your library have a page on Facebook?  What information do you include?  Do 
your students use it?  I am eager to learn from your experience.

We've just been getting this off the ground.....

 

2.      I am responding to your LMNET post, instead of using Facebook, we have 
opted for Twitter and I have been very happy with it.  It is a useful tool to get 
info out.  Take a look:  www.twitter.com/smithlibchild  if you have questions, just 
ask!

 

3.      I have a facebook page that's new this year. I'm uploading photos of  any 
technology that's being used in the school, displays that I want to show off, and 
any projects that my Aides are doing. Check it out! Mancelona High School Media 
Center.

 

4. I just started one a few weeks ago and have 105 friends (and about 15 or so more 
on my Twitter).  It's for grades 7 and 8, primarily.  I post stuff like what I'm 
reading, book trailers, lists  of good reads.  So far, so good.  You can check it 
out at:

4.      My library does not have a facebook page but I'm thinking of adding one. I 
have my own personal facebook page and do have contact with several students 
although it's not encouraged by the New York City Dept. of Ed. I think it is impt. 
to reach kids today on pages they read and it seems like it would be helpful.  Last 
year I attended a "library camp" with alot of  college librarians and they all had 
facebook pages and twitter accounts.
