Facebook is already used by some libraries as a portal to their catalogues and even online touring ( Inner Temple Library & Loughborough University Library ).
Originally the people who run facebook where not very supportive of libraries, as I found in this article from SLA-IT about the University of Kentucky's facebook page. This has changed however, if you want to join up as a library go through this page.

Google Docs
Google docs is extrodinarily useful for a public library trying to provide internet access. We have 1 computer providing word processing applications, for security reasons it's not hooked to the internet. Online apps. like this make it possible to word process for our clients while on the web (very common with students!)
