As a savvy internet user (come on, admit it, you’re on the blog!), it’s highly likely that even if you don’t have an account on Facebook or MySpace, you have probably at least checked out the sites online. First Book recently created a team that is focused on getting our mission out to the masses, and what better way than for free on a social networking site?

Why in the world would a nonprofit like First Book create accounts on Facebook and MySpace? One of our goals is to get more people familiar with First Book, so that they can help us provide more books to kids. We’re also using these sites as a way to engage new ambassadors and volunteers by giving people options to get involved: whether it’s by donating a few dollars on our Facebook Cause, heeding a call to action by participating in a local community event, or inspiring someone to start an Advisory Board in their area. The opportunities are endless!

If you are a member of MySpace or Facebook, then please check out or profiles! On Facebook we not only have a profile, but as I mentioned above we have a cause and also a group, and we encourage you to join all three. Add us as your friend today and help us spread the word about First Book!
