Marketing in libraries is often an afterthought rather than a priority embedded in planning. But times are changing!

Jamie will help you think differently to achieve the basics of effective marketing without a ton of money or staff. From promotional videos to eye-catching emails, you'll learn about marketing techniques and tools available to even the smallest of libraries. Discover simple ways to gain attention and increase attendance.

The Community Connector: Referring Social Services at the Library

Tuesday, April 21, 2015 ♦ 2 pm Eastern / 11 am Pacific ♦ 60 min
Registration:
http://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/community-connector.html

Every day, patrons enter libraries around the country with questions about health, housing, employment, counseling and other essential human services. And libraries are there to make these crucial connections for them. Many libraries are now exploring ways to expand their role as connector to community social services through resources such as webpages, mobile apps, and databases. These services might refer somebody to a free meal, legal assistance, support groups, and much more. Join us to hear examples of how referral services and resources have augmented the social services connections that contribute to community vitality.

This webinar is hosted in collaboration with TechSoup for Libraries<http://techsoupforlibraries.org/>.
