Are We Friends?

How you define the word “friend” largely depends on what generation you belong to. Traditionally the term has been used only for close acquaintances or people you have at least met face to face. But in today’s modern lingo, a friend can also be a person, place, or thing that is digitally linked by a social networking program with another person, place or thing. Yes, we have reached an era where two buildings can be friends. Isn’t it heartwarming?

So won’t you please be this building’s friend? If you have a Myspace account, you can be. Just stop by our page and click “be my friend” (located directly in front of the dancing stick figure).

What will this friendship be like? Don’t worry, we are not too needy. There will be no midnight phone calls or sob stricken heart-to-hearts. Instead, we’re there to support you. Much like our website, you’ll be able to find out about storytimes and upcoming programs, access your account and the catalog, and do many other such library-y sort of things. But more than that, it also supplies a space for you to interact with us, other SCCL patrons and a variety of interesting people.

So stop by and say hello. Let’s be BFF… or something like that.
