I have a Facebook account. I use it to keep up with family and friends. I used to be extremely addicted to Facebook, but as Facebook has continued to evolve I have found that my interest is waning. I created a Facebook Account for our school and make posts to it each week. It has been a great tool for communication to parents and students. I have also clicked like on many professional FB pages such as ALA and I Love Libraries. It is very convenient to have their important news land in my newsfeed. I would not be able to visit those official websites on a daily basis.
Twitter is another social media site that I have an account for and I only use it for professional reasons. I enjoy reading updates from experts in fields of just about any topic that I search by using the hashtags. It is a wonderful tool for professional development. I have my schools FB account linked to our schools Twitter account and the statuses that I post go on Twitter as Tweets. Just another way to promote activities in our school and library. Social media is a powerful tool that all libraries need to consider.
