I decided to Like the Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick, Maine. To be honest, the main reason for choosing it was because our old chum, Sarah Brown (Reference Librarian extraordinaire), moved there.She has posted some gorgeous photos of her library, and it seems to be a splendid establishment. This is their very nice website-

I found the information about the privacy settings really helpful and took the opportunity to review my Facebook settings. Gosh, I am ashamed at how lax I had been and quickly tightened up some of the options there.
I can see that Facebook is a great tool to reach large groups of library patrons with not a huge amount of effort and with a greater scope for detail than tweeting. There is the potential for the library to gain positive feedback with comments posted by patrons, but also the reverse. I'm not sure the image of the library would benefit if a patron decided to post vitriolic comments about an unsatisfactory library experience.It could prove to be a tricky situation if the library didn't respond; it could be interpreted that the library didn't care, or the response may not satisfy the patron and others contributing could make for a pretty nasty experience.
