Thanks to Jonya Pacey, a Selco employee and avid facebook user helped us with how to set up an account, use groups or fan pages, and how to link with existing twitter and blog accounts. Jonya stated that you should know ahead of time what your focus of the account will be personal or professional and the pages should be uniform and could be branded to the library. Rochester Public Library has one for their teens, and other promote upcoming programs.
I have toyed with Facebook ever since I finished the 23 Things on A Stick program and saw the huge potential to reach teens a group I feel is under served in our library. But with the huge demands on teens they find it hard to come to the library for information, books or programs. You also have to get on their social calenders early. I am hoping we can start small and have a presence so they will know what we have to offer them.
I will continue to ponder this and hopefully have a product sometime early next year.
