Exercise 22- Social Networking and Libraries

As I said in my previous post, I do think that libraries using social networking tools such as bebo and facebook could be a way of attracting young people to the library. Young people today are so 'cyber' orientated that it could be one way of getting them interested in becoming a 'friend' of the library if they were not already involved previously. My kids use the computer constantly, it is the future and if libraries want to keep up, this is probably one of the ways it will do so.
