  YouTube (section finished) YouTube can be more than just a place to get lost watching cute cat videos for hours. When used effectively, it can be a helpful tool when building, maintaining, and promoting the library program. As a future librarian, I wanted to see how other professionals are using this platform to support the goals of the library program. I visited three channels belonging to school librarians.

However, when utilized for connecting readers, promoting the library program, offering online tools, and more, social media can be a great tool for librarians. So which one should you use for your library? I'll be looking at the big 3: Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. I've explored each one through the lens of how it could support the library program.
