Thing 20: Libraries and Social Networks

I looked at how libraries use MySpace and found that they use MySpace as a means of communication. They mainly use it to connect with their teen audience. Some of the things I found were reading lists for teens. One library encouraged teens to read ten books and vote for the best book in October. The libraries also create surveys for teens to take to find how they could better serve the teen population. Libraries also used MySpace to communicate upcoming events such as poetry month.

I love to read and found the book lists to be the most interesting. I think that I will probably check the libraries' MySpace pages for books lists before I visit the library next time.
