    Communicating Library Values, Mission, Vision, and Strategic Plans through Social Media
    (American Library Association, 2019-06) Rossmann, Doralyn
    Social media communication needs to be aligned with your library’s broader communication plan so that user experience is consistent with messaging from other library venues. Ideally, social media along with all library communication points include language from your library’s values, mission, and vision statements and strategic plan. This article will outline two critical pieces to forming your social media communication strategy: Making a social media plan and applying social media optimization (SMO) to your library’s Web pages. Once set up, your plan and SMO can easily become part of your library’s routine when posting to social networks and creating and editing Web pages.

After two years of using the library’s Facebook page as a free avenue to reach users, we decided to explore different paid routes available within Facebook. Our goals for implementing a Facebook advertising campaign were primarily to increase user awareness of library services and resources, and secondarily to understand the mechanisms of Facebook advertising. Our experiences allowed us to get a glimpse of life on the Facebook toll road.
