You will see it as : Library Storytime
This is also a pretty cool site. It allows you to sort all your websites. I used storytime sites.

Reading Bulletin Boards

Facebook!!

I chose to do a "Facebook." I like MySpace better cuz you can make your layout more “pretty”. But Facebook is it. I can correspond with my teen granddaughters. Social networking is great but you always don't have the time to keep it up. I don't think the library needs a Facebook or MySpace page yet.

Thing # 12 – Internet Safety

There are many stories of how social networking has played dangerous roles in our children’s lives. Parents need to keep an eye out and checkup of what is being watched, and searched for on the internet by their child. BUT social networking also plays a positive role in their lives. Social networking requires them to “READ & WRITE”. When posting a comment on a blog or adds/edits content, reading and writing are required. We don’t hear much of these positive roles. Teachers are teaching social networking using Math Blogs, Author Blogs and creating newspapers. Librarians could teach and educate patrons by writing up brochures, and other handouts with information websites available. Libraries could also print out several copies of information articles to have available at checkout for patrons to see and take. We live in such a fast information age that internet is NOT going away. So we need to find out ways to help and encourage use of the social networking.
