Library Launches 'Wayland Shares': Try It

WAYLAND, MA—The Wayland Library has got a new experiment they'd like you all to try. It's called Wayland Shares, and it's a way for patrons of the Wayland Library to share their own thoughts about library-related materials and events with each other via social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.

Check out some videos on Wayland Shares here.

This new feature which allows the public to contribute reviews about library events, books, movies and much more through social media, said the announcement. Want to review a CD you just enjoyed from the library? Did you hear an interesting speaker? Notice a cool library display or use a library’s pass to a local museum? Share your thoughts.

Here’s how:

• Create a short, simple video where you talk to the camera. 30-90 seconds is best. Cell phone videos are great. Nothing fancy—just talk and share! What did you like about it? Would you recommend it to others?
• Send the video to the library via its Facebook or Instagram @wayland_library.
• Once the video is approved by the library staff and a photo/video release form is signed, it'll be posted online. If you would like to come in to the library and have a staff member film for you, please message the library to schedule a mutually agreeable time.
