411 on Social Networking (Thing 15)

Lets face it teens are on the web alot. Blogging, im, email, MySpace, Facebook, are just a few of the digital activities which teens are involved with on a daily basis. Teens enjoy connecting with their friends in a digital format. I think VBPL should use a social networking site to connect with teens. It is crucial to have a presence in this digital arena. The important thing is to make sure our information and input are relevant and that we are using the technology for the purpose in which it is designed. Our effectiveness in connecting with teens on the social networking sites is what really matters in the grand scheme of things. I think the Hennepin County Library MySpace profile is a good example of what VBPL should be striving to attain.
