So, when I decided to look and see if our local library system had social media, I was rather surprised to see that the County has invested quite a bit into social media. The County seems to be trying to use social media to get messages out on a wide range of topics, from the local libraries, busses, land usage, local parks, public safety, and even visitor and convention bureau. I was rather impressed with the "library" of social media links they have for the public. Lee County Social Media

When I looked into it, they are apparently emphasizing the use of social media and expanding their impact on the younger demographics entering the field. The following link is all about their use of Social Media for the Early Career Researcher .
