The presence and influence of libraries and archives extend beyond the reading rooms into your Twitter and Facebook feeds, YouTube, and blogs. On November 7th, the Library of Virginia will be opening a new exhibit, "Connect with Us," that explores how the library uses social media to engage and encourage the community. New acquisitions and unusual items will be displayed and visitors will be encouraged to post comments about the materials and their experiences within the library. Each month throughout the exhibit's run into February we'll be featuring a different social media outlet. Leading up to the exhibit opening we encourage you to connect with us through our various social media outlets: Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/LibraryofVA> , @LibraryofVA on Twitter <http://twitter.com/#!/LibraryofVA> , Flickr <http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_virginia/sets/72157608734378870 /> , YouTube <http://www.youtube.com/user/LibraryofVa> , Multiple Exposure catablog <http://www.virginiamemory.com/blogs/multiple_exposure/> , and the Out of the Box blog.
