Creating and Establishing a Virtual Library

Since the pandemic locked down the world, many places including libraries had to get creative to provide services for customers and patrons or risk going-out-of-business. Some libraries in order to meet the needs of their patrons began creating virtual libraries using second life or other platforms where patrons could meet in a virtual space. Some created rooms for virtual books clubs or other activities. A patron could roam around the virtual library space and check out resource, listen to music, and interact with others. An example of a virtual library that was created is Community Virtual Library. This video provides information about the Community Virtual Library and establishing your own virtual library:
