Exercise #1
I liked the Friends TCPL page on facebook, I actually joined them after seeing the presentation on Staff Development Day, just to see what their page looked like and what the statuses were about. Every once in awhile I go and see what events are being put on. I also liked Lakeland Public Library, which is my Library back home. I can see what events they are doing and let my family know whats going on (for those that don't have facebook).
Exercise #2
I have joined groups affiliated with my church so that I can know about upcoming events. The site could be used to show new books, movies, cds, etc that are coming to the library, and what info is needed for a library card, etc. A lot of people are on facebook, so TCPL having a site would help to reach the facebook savy individuals and give them information in a direct, to the point fashion. Some cons maybe people posting inappropriatly, not understanding posts, TCPL not keeping it up to date, or neglecting patrons that post on the wall. I think Facebook could be a very good tool for the Library to reach the community.
Exercise #3
I have used facebook to keep in contact with friends and family around the world and also to play the occasional word game with my brothers. I really like being able to post pictures so that my family in FL can see what it is going on in my life even though we are several hours apart. I see myself using it the same in the future as I use it now, a tool in which to keep in contact. I can see the Library using it as long as there is someone to constantly interact with patrons, as well as keep posts updated for upcoming events.
