Facebook seems to be the most popular form of communication with parents these days. So should the school library create a page? After looking at what other schools have done I think the answer is yes! It is a great way to communicate with parents about what is new and happening in the library. Several pages that I looked at displayed what new books were available for check out along with due dates and special events coming up. Along with information it is also a way to share reading quotes and motivational sayings. This site will also be a great spot to promote the latest research that is published about how important reading to and with your children can be. One school that I looked at also used their Facebook page as a motivation to be the STAR class of the week. I love that idea! A.R. is a big part of our school and by having a public place to reward these great readers will really motivate others to read more. I do not see many disadvantages except for the fact that it is one more thing to add to my to do list but the benefits out way the negative. I have created a page for my library so please feel free to check it out! Bay Colony Elementary Library! I just started it so give me time to build it up!
