Social networking sites, such as Facebook, could be used by the library as an additional link from the existing Library webpage. It would provide customers with the opportunity to provide feedback on our services.
Additionally, as social networking sites appeal to youth it may be a way of getting more non-users interested in library services. It might provide some "ownership" to youth, but would need to be moderated by staff.
