Of course, having 5,000 likes on FB makes it LOOK like there is support, which of course helps with donors, but if the "likes" can't be translated into library traffic, I don't much see the point.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691684350360442014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246220242273461143.post-73727021954721842232011-07-23T18:34:47.473+01:002011-07-23T18:34:47.473+01:00Thanks for all your comments!

It says in the email text you posted that liking the page will get people updates on library events and such, so BPL is spreading awareness and updates through likes for people who want them, not only drumming up pointless attention.Space Station Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03091908248048157507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246220242273461143.post-11065659470029773272011-07-22T20:35:03.027+01:002011-07-22T20:35:03.027+01:00Perhaps they feel that their grant applications an...Perhaps they feel that their grant applications and fundraisers as well as private donations will go more smoothly if there's the general sense or impression that they're beloved by billions. Their brand matters even if they have nothing to sell. That's my thought.

I imagine this could increase traffic at the library, draw people to events, etc.Dan Greenhttp://noggs.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
