Week Two: Online Communities

This week, I feel like I'm navagating more familiar waters, with Facebook. My niece invited me last year to join Facebook, and personally, I've found it a great resource to keep tabs on long-lost family and friends. We also set up a page for Hutchinson Public Library last spring, and there are several of us on staff at HPL who try to keep it maintained. It's opened a new source of free promotion for library events and services. We also use Twitter on a regular basis, but I like it less than Facebook, since you're very limited to the length of your message.

New blog for Annette! Yay!

Yes, I've posted blogs on other sites, but I've never created my own.
As the community relations coordinator for Hutchinson Public Library, I can see where my new blog will be a benefit, and fun too. I have the fun job of coordinating many of the adult programs here at the library, including TALK book discussions through the Kansas Humanities Council, our library's participation in the Kansas Reads projects, and adult reading programs that our library sponsors.
I'm looking forward to connecting with everyone during the next several weeks as I participate in "23 Things Kansas".
