Get the 411 on Social Networking

VBPL should use a social networking site to connect with teens. It is apparent that teens spend much of their time online. It is only good business practice that the library goes where they are interacting. A social networking site is a good way to reach this portion of the population while achieving the library's mission of creating "A literate populace and the freedom to read are essential to democracy. The Virginia Beach Public Library provides free access to accurate and current information and materials to all individuals and promotes reading as a critical life skill.
