Twittering Libraries

by David Lee King on May 9, 2007

So far, here’s my list of twittering libraries (for those of you thoroughly confused by that, check out twitter):

Any others? Let me know, and I’ll add you to the list!

2nd update: added the Kista bibliotek. 

Update: Added Cleveland Public Library’s twitter feed, Ada Community Library, and U of I.

    Kista bibliotek (part of Stockholm Public Library) just started twittering as well. Planning to hand out flyers tomorrow – “Do you Twitter? Kista bibliotek does!” – at a music festival (www.hoodsfred.se) taking place outside the library. Will be interesting to see how many will start following us on Twitter.
