YouTube can benefit libraries in communicating with their patrons. A video can inform the public on upcoming events. Perhaps a short video showing a puppet show or craft for kids to help parents know if this would be something they would like to take their children to.
How to videos can be made to access different areas of the library such as how to check out an eBook. During my research for a video to add to our PowerPoint presentations I came across a YouTube video made by the Ramona library showing how to check out an eBook. It was simple but well done and would help a person new to that type of checkout.
Here is a YouTube video of the Ramona library's grand opening. I was at work during this event and it was nice to see part of this event and some of the people who attended.

I think it's great that libraries are using social media tools like this! It helps them stay in touch with partons!
