1. To post events for adults, teens, and children
2. Staff picks
3. Hot new titles
4. New DVDs, CDs, etc.
5. Homework questions and help
6. Pathfinders
7. Internal communication and questions from staff
8. Technology questions
9. Follow up to courses taught – for example, Nancy’s class on how to purchase a digital camera:  she could post information and answer questions that individuals might have after taking the class
10. Use it as a suggestion box for the community to post changes or new ideas
11. Post instructional videos:  such as, bibliographic instruction
