The last week of class

Ok, I did something wrong, I thought this was week 6, but I guess it is week 5.  So the Instagram was week 4.  Sorry if I have you confused Kathleen !
I use GoodReads all the time.  I have an account and have the app on my phone and I-pad.  I follow certain authors and read reviews and comments from other readers.  I have also told patrons about this app, great tool for finding new authors.  I want to get our book club to use it, but I have not started on that.  I plan on working on it after the 1st of the year.

I do read the metrics page ( is that how you say it?) on our facebook page.  Since we started using facebook, it has always showed an interest in our page and it has been a great use of social media for our library.
Patrons are always telling us about things they have read on our page.  I have to say they use it more that our web-page and the web-page is the one that cost us $200 a year to host! 

Week 5 Re-Do!!

I read Pam's blog and I went to Uni. links and found lots of them using instagram to promote their school and also all the neat things going on.  Some had pics of actors that had visited the school.  I can't remember the guys name, but he was in the movie "Grown-Ups" and always used the word maize!
I'm going to keep looking!

Week 5

I don't think I am doing this right.  I only found one library using Instagram, Boston Public Library
http://instagram.com/bplboston#  They had pictures of children, I think in story time and teens on computers.  I also found on the Denver Public Library site something called flickr, it showed pics of a person showing people how to play the guitar.  http://www.flickr.com/photos/dplteens  I don't know if this is the same as Instagram. 
As I stated above, I don't think I searched the other library sites the right way.  I went to Phoenis, LA and Chicago Public library sites and could not find anything about instagram.

I love this bubble song and using bubbles for story time.  Such an easy idea; we had lots of younger kids in our story time this year, they love bubbles!
I thought the OverDrive video that Pam from Lake Preston found was a very good one.  Easy to understand.
