Social media enables libraries to communicate directly with their customers and to strengthen library community relations.
Libraries are at the heart of the physical community in many parts of Australia.  Social media is increasingly playing a major role in building digital and online communities around areas, interests and activities. It allows libraries to reach community members who might not be aware that a library can meet their information needs.

some of examples for National Library of Australia are:

Social media is changing our behaviour?

What are pros and cons using any social media? 

We all know that, some of the reasons are personal, but one of them is just:''Everyone else is using it!''

Is it making us happy or sad?

Personally, I don't use it much, not that I think is bad or something...I rather take a book to read. 

Privacy on the Internet?

Privacy Issues

Do you feel safe online? How much personal information is enough or too much?

It is always good to read some advice to protect yourself  on the Internet.

My reads

During this holidays I decided to take a break by reading this book. 

This first novel in a trilogy introduces us to Valentine Roncalli and her large Italian-American clan. Valentine, single and 33 years old, is an apprentice to her master shoemaker grandmother in a family business that was established in Greenwich Village in 1903 by her now deceased grandfather. Their passion and livelihood, the Angelini Shoe Company, is known for creating custom made exquisite wedding shoes.
