We can use Facebook and the like for local history - encourage patron's, local historical societies, library staff and local historian to interact with each other to increase the knowledge of our local history. We can use these social networking tools to interact with our community and find out what they like, what they don't like and what they would like us to provide. We can also use facebook to communicate with staff from other libraries - see what they are doing, exchange ideas, find out how they deal with various issues etc
