Rockdale Library - and by extension Bayside Libraries in general - primarily use a blog and Twitter as their social media platforms of choice. Content primarily covers Book/movie reviews New releases Recommendations

The following is a list of examples of libraries using social media and the general content that can be found on them. Blogs - Free Library of Philadelphia Events Job openings New acquisitions YouTube Accounts - UTS Library Student resources and support Technology access introduction Facebook - State Library of New South Wales Documentation of events Discussion of history Advertisement of library stock and exhibitions Twitter - National Library of Australia Scholarship offers Events Location updates Acquisitions Instagram - State Library Victoria Preservation processes Images of the library's architecture and rooms Quick history of the local area Advertising events Presentation of their collection

In the modern era, it is rarer to find someone who does not utilise some form of social media. This in turn can make it a useful tool for libraries to use. Facebook, for example, remains the world's most used platform. If a library were to create a public page announcing events, new stock and the like, this would increase engagement with the local community as Facebook provides location specific recommendations to user interactions. Additionally, libraries can also track the level of engagement with any posts they create as many social media platforms have an analytics page that creators of the account can access. This can not only allow libraries to track engagement but additionally determine if there is a trend with the content it is providing and plan according to the results.
