Libraries accounts on MySpace? I think it is a wonderful idea! MySpace is a very popular site where people of all ages spend at least 1 hour a week chating with friends or browsing in search of topics that interest them... Wouldn't it be awesome if even 1/4th of the MySpace members spend an extra 20 minutes or so looking at what is happening in their local libraries? MySpace would allow local libraries additional contact time with their patrons or soon to become patrons. It would assist in reaching out to the population that is not regularly seen in libraries.
Advertising events, classes, new books, new music and videos to the less active library patron would encourage a rise in attendance and circulation.
Libraries consist of contact with people and sharing knowledge. MySpace and the web are ways to reach out and fulfill this value of libraries on a different level.
