Who knew that a library (a public place full of people socially interacting whether they like it or not) needed a social network? Apparently we do...
A couple of weeks ago our lovely library was catapulted into active cyberspace by the launch of its facebook page. We were already 'out there' (and you may take that as you whish), but a website is much more static, requires a lot more work to keep it updated, and won't let us bother our FANS with timely updates to the second! Well, now we can.
The main question is - how do we get all those booklovers to visit us on Facebook and click on the 'become a fan' button? As much as Facebook is a kind of free forum for library programming advertising, it requires advertising elsewhere to let people know we are actively socialising!
So - do we pay for advertising to let people know we can advertise to them for free?
For now - we will tell people on our (static) website, on our bookmarks, flyers, and posters, that we are available to them 24hrs a day, rain or shine, recession or no recession - for FREE...
