Have the PR responsibilities of your library found their way onto your list of “other duties as assigned?” I have good news--marketing doesn’t have to be maddening, even for smaller libraries (those serving populations less than 30,000) who may not have staff solely dedicated to communications and/or marketing efforts. Join your fellow OHIONET members to hear from Nancy Dowd, co-author or the popular blog “The ‘M’ Word - Marketing Libraries” and former director of marketing for the New Jersey State Library, as she shows you how easy it is to create powerful, consistent promotional materials and how to best deliver them. </span></font></p>
