Libraries using Social Media

As the age of the internet progresses more and more businesses including libraries are using social media to reach out to their customers. From Facebook, Twitter and Youtube to Pinterest and Tumblr.
Using social media is a great way to send out information, keep patrons interested or just to show them what your library has been doing. Are you hosting a special event? Sometimes people just don't think to check the website, but if they're following you on Facebook or Twitter than they are more likely to see that you are hosting an event.
Some libraries that use social media:
SLV uses Facebook as well as a range of other social media to let their visitor know what they are up to: SLV Facebook
YPRL uses Facebook and Twitter too: YPRL Twitter
NLA also has a range of social media accounts including a youtube channel: NLA Youtube

As you can see there are many ways to use social media to promote and maintain customers.
