A year ago in February, WebJunction began the Social Library series to highlight the wonderful ways libraries use Facebook and other social media. It’s a great virtual tour of how libraries are using social media to connect with their communities, promote services and programs, and engage with their patrons and fans. It’s a place to find quick inspiration, examples of innovative engagement, and stories of lasting impact.
From volume 18, Westchester Library System sponsored a Public Forum on Family Issues.
In the 51 volumes published in Social Library’s first year, WebJunction has featured 220 libraries and organizations,in 43 different states, and 3 Canadian provinces and representing more than a dozen different countries.
Projects have included custom tinkerCad classes, a bilingual Employment Workshop Series, a Veterans Resource Center, teen job workshops, adult coloring programs and many more. You can see some of the most popular volumes on the WebJunction website.
