As one of the most popular and frequently used social media tools, I would recommend that any library utilise Facebook. It allows for direct engagement with library members and potential library members, and is an excellent means by which to gauge what the community wants and needs from its library. It is also an effective means by which to promote events happening at the library, and all of the benefits open to library members.
YouTube
With the popularity of online videos, YouTube is another excellent social media tool for use by libraries. For those looking for instant engagement, YouTube is perfect. Videos can be a more powerful form of communication than just text and photos, and can be more useful in imparting information. Videos about library services, events, and what the library as a whole offers are a great form of promotion. Video tutorials are also a valuable resource offered by libraries.
