Exercise 5

I think it is a terrific idea for libraries to make the most of all social media, in order to:

• Advertise themselves and services they offer the community
• Reach the young and old readers who otherwise would not enter a library
• Raise awareness of community events
• Invite readers and library clients to access material they have available including ebooks
• Encourage reading and thirst for information and cultural exchanges

Social media legislation does protect those participating in all exchanges, I do not see anything wrong with being active on Facebook and twitter, as long as that legislation is respected by all parties.
