Libraries to take social media leap

Keen to the latest craze in technology, Oconee public libraries are set to advance from Facebook to Twitter. After a presentation last night by Leah Price, the Westminster librarian, the county board of library trustees authorized the opening of a Twitter account, as a way to better communicate with its patrons and the world with what’s going on in its countywide system. According to Price, the popularity of Facebook has begun to change or fade but Twitter, with its instant messaging capability, would be ideal for the public libraries.
