Holland Middle School Library – Holland, Pennsylvania

https://www.facebook.com/HollandMiddleSchoolLibrary/
The library is located in Holland, Pennsylvania and about
212 likes, 208 people follow, and 70 people have visited. She advertises on
future book fairs and promotes them while they are at her campus. The latest book fair was held on May 31st.
I had never heard about an event that
the librarian promotes through her posts. “Walk a Mile” is a way to bring
students or the community to read together. Their goal is read 5,280 minutes
the same feet in a mile through the month of March. It is composed of a team
and they register their team through a website and they keep track of the minutes read.
Buckeye High School Library – Deville, Louisiana
I liked this page the most, because most of their posts are
related to students. The library promotes books through several postings and
include links that take you to a book review. It seems the librarian is greatly
involved with a district wide event called “Library Palooza”. She invites
authors and networks with other librarians to make this event a total success.
She also offers several posts of pictures of her with colleagues, guest
speakers, and/or authors attending TLA 2017. Posts that also caught my
attention, were the Barnes and Noble having author readings. I think it’s
important to share this type of information, so that the community becomes
aware of all local events to promote literacy.
Advantages and Disadvantages of using Facebook
The advantages of having a library Facebook page helps the school communicate with parents and students. Now a day, most of the people have access to a cell phone, tablet, or any mobile device. Postings on Facebook tend to seen and updated in seconds. By the time you send a parent memo or make phone calls, Facebook is definitely a great to share information quick. The disadvantages are: bad comments can be posted and not be taken down on time, there are some parents that are unfamiliar with social media, you must be careful with what you posts since you are representing your school.

Linda Braun - @lbraun2000
Linda retweets from YALSA, ALA, and Google Education twitter pages. I notice that she promotes Computer Coding and especially directed more to girls. I personally was part of a coding club last year in my campus and really enjoyed the experience. We would also try to encourage more girls to join the team. Her tweets leads me to believe that she targets youth groups. She also tweets about information for grants, interesting technology articles, and any technology tools.
