In most cases I’d say follow back those who follow you. If people are genuinely interested in your library let them know you’re interested in them too.

That being said there are also spammers who follow you that have only post tweets about their get rich quick schemes. You don’t have to follow those accounts back.

Another good thing about mutually following each other is you can then send Direct Messages. So, say some requests a book via Twitter, you could then DM them and get their borrowing info privately.

Oh, and I’m liking your @NHCPLYA tweets so far!

Do you have any recommendations for libraries as far as following others on Twitter?
We’ve just started to Twitter in connection with our Young Adult activities (@NHCPLYA) and are still working on developing a follower base.
I don’t want to seem unfriendly to those who follow us, but I also am concerned about ending up with a page that at any given time is mostly not library generated information.
