Is your library using Facebook’s new hashtags? Facebook announced last week that it has implemented clickable hashtags to increase social dialogue. Hashtags facilitate conversations by making it easier to view, compare, and participate in what everyone else is talking about.
Most libraries use Facebook to engage and establish relationships with their users. The new hashtag functionality will make it easier to target the right followers and help them join the literary community.
Facebook users can be encouraged to visit #storytime, leave a #bookreview, or to check out this week’s #bestsellers. It is a great way to interact with the community and to promote library events. Make sure to use hashtags for the unique or well-known services your library provides to the community. If you have a #universitybookexchange or #townfilmnight at your library, you can highlight them with your community or library name to ensure your users can find the information they need.
