Social Media week 2

This week has been crazy!  Trying to read for school work and get everything ready for Christmas has made me a little cuckoo!
For work, I am trying to figure out how best to use social media for our programming effort.  Especially for the Blackeyed Susan Celebration we are planning for the Spring.  It is a program where we have area school read all the Blackeyed Susan books (which are books selected by school media specialists and their students) then have sort of a Jeopardy contest between the schools.  I'd like to create a Facebook page for the event but social media is limited to the system and not really encouraged for the individual branches.  Sooo, what are the alternatives that could offer similar results? https://www.facebook.com/BlackEyedSusanAwardCelebration
but for some reason, I can't get the link to work :(
I'll keep working on it...and keep you posted!
Maybe the website will work!  http://blackeyedsusan.weebly.com/

Clarion Winter session 2013!

I began this blog last summer as work blog....all full time librarians were require to  create a blog, follow a reading agenda of a variety of materials and genres, and then comment on the content in the blog.  It was very interesting, and there was a lot of different genres covered, and along the way we discovered lots of cool things to go along with genres. Like book trailers...who would have thought it but there are some really cool book trailers for new, upcoming titles.  Additionally, we had to join Goodreads which is also a social media but just keeps track of what folks are reading, and what they are recommending.  I have been using Goodreads for about 4 years now and it's a great tool to keep track of what you've read.  I use it often at work when trying to remember what I've read and in offering readers advisory.  Check it out at Goodreads.com!
