One day when I am fully retired from all of my 'little jobs'  I would very much like to incorporate Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest at the Jackson County Library.  Also Animoto, can not forget that one either!!  

Weekly and daily interaction is a must when using all of those in the public.  Keeping it up-to-date is so important!  Our director has given me the go ahead it I am interested in doing so but time is of the essence.  So we will leave it alone but I will continue to help people become familiar with their own accounts and guide them on in their process and use.  Facebook questions are the most common and I have been helping others with Goodreads. 

We revised our policies at our library recently but a social media policy is needed.  Another reasons to wait on setting up a Facebook or Instagram acct for our library. 

Listened to the Instagram class.  I already am hooked!  I have been listening to "young ones" lately that are into 'snap chat'   I have not investigated that one but applied the Instagram app on my IPhone! Going to be FUN!   Fun like the animotos we did in June!  Now I really do need another day in the week. 

I looked at several Instagram sites.  oed.org/librarian/10-interesting-ways-to-use-instagram-for-you  Simply listed 10 ways to use Instagram for your library. From introducing staff, introducing new books, showing off library spaces, behind the scenes of libraryprocedures, etc.
 
So far I can see where Instagram will reach the younger crowd and have more interaction...

statigr.am/tag/libraries  talked just about that subject on reaching more of the younger people.

The Mobile Librarian (themobilelibrian.wordpress.com/2013.09/07/instagram) talked about how they use Instagram in aiding students by teaching with it!  Did not think about that, interesting.  With Instagram they felt they have the most interaction.

I love Pinterest!  I have been "playing" with this site now for all most a year.  I held back because my friends warned me that "It is very,very addictive "   This is very,very true!! 

I do have followers and I am thinking it will be effective to add library interests to my account!  This would work for me as I do not work daily at our community's library.

I agree with @Ann that it will be affective and will build confidence in my social networking.

Two of the library boards I studied were: www.pinterest.com/sotomorrow/library-bullentin-boards-displays/

And www.pinterest.com/LibraryBoards/  

Some very,very fun stuff:)
