get a chance to attend a Special Interest Group meeting. Every time I do
sit down at a SIG, though, I’m impressed with the energy and creativity
you bring to your work. You come looking for ideas and solutions, but
you’re also quick to share your plans and resources. I always leave
inspired, and with at least a full page of notes.</span><br>
<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: initial;">So we’re very excited when a new SIG starts up. This week we had
the first meeting of the new <a href="http://www.swonlibraries.org/content/adult-planning-and-services-aps-sig-0" target="_blank">Adult
Planning & Services (APS) SIG</a> in Dayton. If that topic sounds
familiar, <a href="http://www.swonlibraries.org/plappn" target="_blank">PLAPPN</a> has
been gathering to share programming ideas for a long time, but their
meetings are usually near Cincinnati. So a group that’s easier for
Dayton-area librarians to attend is very welcome.</p>
<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: initial;">Here are a couple ideas they shared on ways to market programs
through Facebook:</p>
<ol style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: initial;">
<li>Limit the number of posts to 2 or 3 per day.</li><li>Use pictures
and polls to encourage people to interact.</li><li>When you see a great
idea on someone else’s Facebook page or other social media site, use it!</li>
</ol>
<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: initial;">Facebook “Likes” are important, since they not only share your post
in a person’s feed, they also make your posts more likely to appear in
that person’s feed in the future. But try not to just beg for “Likes.”
Be generous with ideas and resources and recommendations. Give people
something to “Like” and they’ll be eager to see and share your posts.</p>
