Social Media 

Facebook and other social media platforms are third-party platforms. Peace Library System staff do not have back-end access to any library Facebook pages, and we do not store account logins or passwords. These pages are the responsibility of the local library to maintain and update.

We have limited capacity to troubleshoot and problem solve when library staff run into issues with the Facebook platform. We will, however, direct library staff to help documentation where necessary, and we have some tips and advice that library staff may find useful.
