As I was searching for school
libraries on Facebook, I noticed there were a limited number of school library
pages. I saw the some schools with the
Facebook pages and they used them to promote the school’s activities as well as
up and coming book to movie adaptations.
I liked that these school
included reminder for Book Fairs and updates to the library’s filing
system. Cheltenham High School’s page
included school announcements, like who placed in soccer and field hockey
league. Moreau Catholic High School’s
page posted an image of an old check out card from 1982. I really liked how they involved the students
with funny posts.
One
disadvantage I saw on these pages was the mediator of the page did not update
regularly. For example, the Pasadena
High School was last updated December 7th. A second disadvantage, I also noticed there
was not a lot of traffic on the pages; very little people check these pages for
updates of posts.
I think having a Facebook page in
beneficial because the students have Facebook accounts and it is readily
available using their smart phones.
When I become a librarian, I would like to involve the students as much
as possible. For example, I would like
to post a message and whoever read it and comes to the library first wins a
prize.
Here are some screenshots of some posts!
