Social networking sites are becoming one of THE ways to get a buisness or a person noticed these days. Bands advertise themselves on myspace, actors and singers get more in touch with their fans on facebook, and Libraries are reaching out to their public through this medium too.
I think it's a good thing, so many young people still have this idea of libraries being scary places where you only go if you readlly need a book. By reaching out to them through their way of communication it renders a library more approachable, more familiar and more friendly. As such they will go there when they need help with something or just need a book to read.
It's also a great way to advertise to people that yes they have a source of books just over there, and that they are welcome to join and read too. I think it encourages people to come and read and participate in more community oriented activities. Which to me? Is all to the good.
