Libraries can use social media to grow and engage their audiences, and to tell their own wonderful stories. But what do we do when some of our audience want to use social media against libraries? This training session will help you to tailor your social media strategies on controversial topics. It will help to improve the quality of your posts, and it will provide helpful advice on managing social media discussions, particularly on Facebook.
