I too can YouTube

I was looking at Week 6's information on the uses that YouTube (had access difficulties with Google video unfortunately) and the opprtunities this technology presents to public libraries.

For my specific role, like the New York Library, you could use YouTube for promotional purposes to get children and their families excited about resources or programs available to them through their local library service. Fun clips about storytime, Baby Bounce or Summer Reading club could help sell the advantages of participation to a shire that is quite literate visually but may be a little jaded with print.


Also if you have a hard time getting stories in the paper as libraries are not seen as high priority news then it could be a way of reaching your audience in a different way.
