How libraries are using social media

https://streetlibrary.org.au/stories-in-the-media/
This library blog looks like the go-to blog to find out and be kept updated with the community enterprise which is street libraries. It shares stories and news about how street libraries are set up around Australia so dutiful and community-minded residents can use these sort of pop up little book sharing book cases to share the joy of reading around the neighbourhood, and which is useful for those in a homeless state.

The UTS library YouTube page gives new students an orientation to using the UTS library. A friendly voice describes in a tutorial the basic but important functions that a new student would want to be familiar with so they can go about using the library. There are also some further videos that can tutor students on how to search in the library for further research for what they might be studying.

The Australian Library and Information Association twitter page has entertaining regular reporting fed to their site with many photos and reference to what's happening around the country at libraries that are themselves offering valuable services

The State Library of New South Wales instagram page currently has 899 posts and over 16,000 followers to it which include photos of what's of interest to the library and the state's overall cultural life. It also has video posts to watch. It is overall quite a broad collection of visual promotion to interest and market the library. There is also a diarising of sorts to the world of books which encourages book reading.
