Social Networking

I have heard about MySpace and Facebook but really didn't know what it was all about. It is another way we can connect with people anywhere with similar interests and ideas. It could be used within our library service to connect people through our library. I can imagine the youth of the area embracing this, but young mum's isolated by distance and responsibilities of small children would enjoy the interaction through this social networking format. Books and libraries being the common thread it could also be used by the local history buffs and other interest groups. Perhaps a group of shire library services could develop a Facebook site to connect staff to exchange ideas, successes, and difficulties within their libraries. We would all have something to give and something to learn from each other.
