Go Right Ahead VBPL

I feel VBPL should use social networking to connect with teens. There is no harm in marketing the library on myspace for example. Many bands and businesses do so why shouldn't the Public Library jump into that circle too. There no harm in opening our doors to the patrons on-line. We our a public Library so we should be publicly open to all people including those in the virtual world.
I think by taking that step were showing the younger generation that we can still talk the talk and walk the walk even though were a library. We would be putting ourselves in their shoes and seeing things through their perspective. Relating to others always makes friends and creates a bond of trust. The Library is built on trust and we can use this trust to help educate patrons.
There is so much negativity surrounding social networking due to cyber-bulling and predators. We could transform this bad and turn it into good by be being a moral pillar. VBPL using a social network, in short, will reach a whole new group of people that already have access to social networking. This will allow us to make more friends........ and isn't that what social networking is all about : )
