San Rafael Public Library (my local library) Has a Facebook Page

My local library, the San Rafael Public Library, now has a Facebook page.  A kind tech-savvy patron created it for the library and is maintaining it for them as well.  The page has been up for a couple of months now and is going strong.  They have photos, links to key services, and upcoming events listed on the site. It's a great way to stay up to date with what's happening there.

It was featured in our local newspaper, the Marin Independent Journal: "San Rafael Library joins social networking site Facebook."   The story was even picked up by Business Week!

Interestingly, the writer contacted several of us who were fans of SRPL through Facebook's messaging system asking for comments for the article.  I thought that was pretty darn neat.  I was quoted briefly as were others.    I am thrilled my small local library has a page. They have over 50 fans already with minimal publicity until this article.  So cool!
