Social Networks

I think it is great that libraries take the time to create accounts on social networking sights. It is a way to reach patrons that my not think of the library as a place for them. I love that the YAABs are creating spaces for the teens and hopefully we will have accounts for other library users. This is great space to announce upcoming programs and recommended reading. I am surprised that libraries seem to be concentrating on teens with these types of accounts and not other age groups. I know of a number of my "30 something" friends who have accounts with various social networking sights and they rarely use the library, but I think that they would be interested in knowing that something like this is out there for them. Why not target them, let them know what that the library has a page for them.
