Social networking sites are already being used to connect Sunshine Coast Libraries to 'Generation Text' (read the book of the same name by Dr. Michael Osit.)

• We use Facebook & twitter to publicise library events.
• flickr is used to allow access to photos from a range of our staff social events and library events involving the public. We introduce customers to flickr in one of the Tech Centre lessons we offer (the Digital Photos lesson). As a large proportion of our lesson participants are retirees, hopefully it won't only be our under 25's clients who access flickr from the home page of our website.

If our library is going to make use of the various social networking sites to access customers of all ages, we probably need to offer a Tech Centre lesson to get people started.
