Facebook Works Wonders Great way to promote events and allow teen’s friends
to see events at the library.

A good way to get feedback on events and ideas for new ones.
Makes it easy to communicate with groups such as your TAG, anime club, etc.
Easy to maintain! Not really a page about you.
Recruiting “Friends” Pass out a survey with a treat.
Recruiting “Friends” (cont.) Have a laptop available at a programs.
Lost & Found items
Create business-like Facebook cards.Hand them out in person.Leave them by computers during peak teen user
hours.

private, but enable guests to invite their own friends.
When asking someone to be friends, be upfront.Purpose of the page
You will eventually get your own “friend requests.”
