YouTube is like the best time-waster. You just never know what kind of videos you are going to find. I like how when you find a video it gives you lists of related videos. Plus you can "subscribe" to some people's videos, so every time they post something new you are alerted. I like how people can make video responses to people's videos. Usually though the comments that people make are lame. The categories section makes it easy if you just want to browse around.
YouTube could be a good way to get videos created to promote a library shown to a wider audience because it can be on more than just your library website. You never know when people might stumble upon it when it's on YouTube.
A colleague and I played around with trying to make a video to promote our Term Paper Clinics, a service to help undergraduates write their term papers. We put it up on YouTube just for fun. Only 82 people have viewed it. We're hoping to maybe make more videos promoting our services in the future. Though this video wasn't a complete success (the sound quality is quite poor), we learned a lot from the process and I still think it was a good concept.
