How is my local public library using social media?

SOCIAL MEDIA IN RYDE  LIBRARY

Facebook 

Facebook is a platform useful for promoting books and collections in the library.  And also to improve usage by making more customers aware of what is on offer.  Being present in the online community, promoting upcoming events, activities and author talks.  

Students tend to be very active on social media, and librarians have embraced popular platforms as a way to communicate to provide better customer service. 

Twitter

Similar to Facebook as it advertises events, projects in the community, resident information.

 YouTube is a very useful tool for providing information and educating the community through video.  Promoting community and library events, historical information of the area. 

 Instagram 

 Instagram is fast becoming an exciting platform through which Ryde library shares news, achievements, and images of everyday life.

With photos of the latest books available to borrow, snaps of library visitors attending workshops, and shots of behind the scenes activities.

Pinterest 

Beautiful photography featuring everything that's going on in the City of Ryde and highlights the most favourite boards.  Spring Garden Competition, Street Libraries, Historic Ryde, to name a few.
