Thing 20

I already had personal accounts on myspace and facebook. Mostly I use it to stay in touch with my kids and some of my kids parents accounts too. But not very many much like IM I use it to talk to my kids and sometimes my sister but none of my friends IM. Too bad too - I really like all of these. But not very my folks my age have the desire to even look into these.

Facebook I join Library 2.0 Interest Group and NextGen Librarians both sounded interesting and hopefully I will be able to learn more from both of these groups.

I knew that Hennepin teen library had a Myspace and I have looked at it before but I asked to be a friend. That way when they have something new it will show up on my page. Denver looked very interesting also so I asked to be friend here too. Maybe I will get some ideas for my teen programming from them.

Both places I noticed had new books on them, teen programming, let the teens have input and some ownership. Plus if you have them as a friend other people that are your friend will see that and then maybe take an interest in them too. Then they will find out what is cool and happening at the library.
One of my teen patrons was impressed that I blog and asked if they library had a blog!! Something to think about! What could I write about -
