I've done the whole search for library on fb previously and friended and fan'd several - some because I'm interested in them- they're located close by, I work for them, I went to uni there etc, others I follow to get a feel for how they are using fb to promote their library service.
Our ILS vendor is, I think, almost ready to 'unleash' a fb application to search our catalogue which I think would be great.
The libraries that to me have the most effective fb presence are those that have a catalogue search widget/application rather than just a link on their page.
In the realms of fantasy (or way outside my programming league) I'd love to see library patrons being able to do most everything from our facebook page (think library elf meets e-resources).
I'd like to be able to do things such as renew my books from the fb page - the catalogue search app is a good start but how about being able to join online via fb?
Something to think about?

That all sounds good to me.
