Library Facebook page

Our NE Learns 2.0 challenge this month was to become familiar with the social networking site, Facebook. I already had a personal Facebook account to connect with family and friends. My family are especially very active Facebook users. We have a fun time sharing everyday events, photos, videos, taking quizzes, and using applications. I decided to set up an account for the Library, but learned that a "person" sets up an account and then creates a page for your business, organization, etc. Our library now has a Facebook page that I administrate. Photos are posted and I will continue to update. Readers of this blog may link to our Library's page. Facebook will assist us in connecting with the public by advertising our events, "hot" new books, and posting updates about what all is going on with the the library. We also joined Twitter to post library happenings. Thanks to NE Learns for motivating me in setting up these accounts to " get social".

Facebooking

I wanted to set up a Facebook page for the Library. Well, to make a long story short, I wrongly set up a personal page. I already have one to connect with family and friends. So, that account is now deactivated, but facebook is still confused and won't let me set up an account associated with the library's email address. I'll wait a day and try to set up an account for an organization.
Hopefully, then, our Library will be on Facebook.
