Libraries and MySpace

Take the library to where the people are! And with an estimated 70 million people on MySpace, that's where they are! I think it's a great idea to put your library on MySpace; the site has a mixed reputation (because of careless account holders), but it is no doubt the new teen hangout. And certainly libraries will be an example of good things that can be part of MySpace.

Brenda Hough emailed to tell me that at least five Kansas libraries are on MySpace. Kudos to these enterprising librarians!

Check out their spaces:
