- Hennipin County (MN) Library uses social media in a wide variety of ways. From the homepage of their website you’ll find links to their Facebook page, Twitter, MySpace, Flickr, and YouTube. In particular, I really like how they use Flickr (and their libraries are beautiful buildings too!)
- I’ve always liked New Public Library on Twitter. It’s a nice mix of reference questions (and the answers too), events, new books, RA, news about the library, etc. Tweeting several times a day.
- Librarian in Black’s blog is very informative. She mostly blogs about technology.
- NYPL’s use of YouTube with their Ghostbuster’s video is brilliant and was very effective in raising awareness about theif budget crisis.
- I really enjoy the Merry Librarians’ blog for its anonymous and humorous view of working in a public library. Anyone who works with the public anywhere needs a little comic relief every now and then. I especially enjoy her Story of the Week posts.
