I was born on the Island of Mangaia(Cook Island). MANGAIA, the most southerly of the Cook Islands, is also the second largest. It has the distinction of being the oldest island in the Pacific. Analysis of its geology shows it dates from 18 million years ago which is probably why it arouses keen interest among geologists. Roughly circular in shape, it rises 15,600 feet (4750 m) above the ocean floor. It has a central volcanic plateau and, like many of the southern islands in the Cooks, it is surrounded by a 200-foot (60 m) high ring of cliffs of fossilised coral, makatea. Arrived to New Zealand on the 2nd February 1981 and sadly I have never returned home since then. Brought up by my grandparents, whom I love dearly. I speak fluent Cook Island Maori and yes I am a real Poly Cookie. Friday, July 2, 2010

WEEK SIX: FACEBOOK
What can Facebook do for you individually?
From my own experiences, I have used FACEBOOK as a social networking tool to communicate with friends and especially with long distance family members in Australia. I have also managed to hook up all the people from my homeland, since primary school age.
What can Facebook do for us as a public library?
Facebook is a great networking tool, for Manix, this has already attracted some of our Manukau library teen users to connect and share what they have already read and it a great way of posting our library events.
Facebook is easy to use and yes, I would definitely continue to use Facebook and promote this to our Manukau library users.
What would our customers get out of a Facebook page?
Customer engagement to what we provide as a business, sharing our knowledge about great books, recommending good authors and top five reads. We’re leading young generations by building relationship through facebook.
Find 1 library (public, tertiary or other) and look at what sorts of update they make?
I have looked at Auckland City libraries and Christchurch City libraries. They seem to communicate with customers through library blog, no Facebook or Twitter page.
