My Space & Facebook would be a great way of promoting library events, services & materials and just the library itself. It is free to set up, except for the staff time that it takes. This staff time would be no longer than the time it would take to create flyers or brochures or ads. My Space in particular is extremely popular with our local teens. I know that the local Youth Centre has a MySpace page, if the library was to have one too the Youth Centre could be added as a friend there by networking with the teens who choose to look at the Youth Centre MySpace page.
Facebook seems to have appeal to a more mature audience. The library could reach a wider audience by having both sites.
To keep them interesting they would need to be constantly updated, comments read and replied to, friends added on demand. Recent photos posted.
This would surely create extra interest on the library and invite new comers into the library.
