Hmm, ok, now that you've stated your position and I've had more time to think about it, I could see a few benefits. The event notification feature is definitely a plus. Are you thinking that the experience will be interactive? I'm thinking that if I did "like" the library site, I would read and use the info that you provided, but not really post messages or make the relationship two-sided. Perhaps that's not your intention, which is cool. But if it is, what steps will you take to engage the fans/likers?

Our library, specifically, serves more than just the college community, we are a hub for the public library too (we're in a rural area), so it's important that we find a way to connect to everyone and let them know when we have new books, movies, etc. Also it's a way to let people know about events that are taking place in the library as well as on campus. And, perhaps, most importantly, it's a way for our patrons to let us know what they need/want and how we can provide those services to them. Thank you for asking the questions, it helps to verbalize what we're hoping to accomplish, so ask away...

I guess my question would be - what for? *lol* Not trying to be funny, just honestly curious. I interact with mostly friends and family, and have only "liked" or become "fans" of a few brands and stores that I like in order to receive special discounts and coupons. What benefit would "liking" the library bring me? Again, not trying to be an azz, but very interested in hearing your opinion and what you are trying to achieve.
