After reading several articles on social networking, it is evident that today's teens are very connected to the internet and social networking. Social networking has the potential to be a great marketing tool to promote programs and services offered by VBPL. To keep up with today's world and reach those who don't physically come into the library, you have to go where they go.
I don't think that I personally would create a MySpace or FaceBook account and probably would never check it even if I did. But it is a way for teens to connect with each other and that is important. It is also a way to get information out to those you want to get information to. In April after the tragedy at Virginia Tech I know that FaceBook was a very important tool for many - even those on campus used FaceBook to check on friends they could not get in touch with. Locally, a couple of people told me their kids had gone on FaceBook to check on friends of theirs from high school who were at Virginia Tech.
