YouTube can be a pretty addicting site. YouTube is great because of the large number of video clips available. You can also find whole documentaries on the site which is great. The downside is of course the quality of the videos.
For libraries, I think one good way to use YouTube is to film book talks and post them to the library website. YouTube allows for user comments, so that could be one way for people to discuss the book remotely and after the event has taken place. This could also be used for any other library program as well.
Here's an example of a show done by the Billerica Public Library called "Library Lowdown." On this particular episode they discuss books on Antarctica.

This is just one example, there are other videos done by other libraries with authors and much more.
