Using web scraping, I grabbed information from libraries across the country and then wrote a script to find out how many of them use social media, as well as what social media sites they use specifically. My goal was to learn more about library outreach practices and how they vary by state. Social media outreach is a valuable way for cultural institutions to reach their communities and increase the visibility and accessibility of their institution.
