  3. ” When you deal with difficult-to-understand or explain topics, find a way to break down the information for the general public.”
  4. “If you offer services, use some of your page to help the public easily gain access to those services, and be ready to answer questions about them.”
  5. “Be prepared to respond to as many of the (legitimate) questions or comments you receive.”
  6. “You can use your Facebook page to inform about all of the things that you do or offer. Don’t be pigeonholed by what your audience thinks are the only things that you do. Expand their knowledge and share your awesomeness!”

My own take (Bill Drew) on this is that libraries are good at this type of thing and need to extend it to the social side of their presence in the cyber environment.  Why would you do otherwise?
