| OCL announces new Facebook page |
2012-02-28 |
New Facebook page keeps the public informed of ‘all things library'
This week, Oxford County Library joined billions of other users on Facebook. The Facebook page offers library patrons a new way to stay connected with OCL, keep up with news from the library world, and stay informed about free programs and events for all ages to enjoy.
Branch locations are easily identified on the page and link to individual branch program calendars, making it easy for the public to see what’s happening at their local library.
“We expect that our Facebook presence will prove an effective way of reaching our public, making sure that they are aware of the amazing array of products and services offered, free of charge, at our branches,” says CEO Lisa Miettinen.
More and more people are using their local library, in-person and online, in a variety of new ways, such as free downloadable eBooks and music, chef visits, Book Club sets, gaming, Lunch and Learn events, Books for Babies programs, and Laughter Yoga classes, to name a few.
