Marketing+Tools


 * Marketing Tools **

Market Your Library Resources: [], Digital Learning Commons 2003-2009. This web page offers several tips on how to market your library. One tip says to hang out where most of the teachers hang out in order to keep in contact with them. I think this is wise because if they feel comfortable around you then they won’t be as afraid to ask for help or resources from the library.

Plan, Prepare, Promote: Marketing Your Library: [], Laura Saunders 2004. I liked Laura’s idea of having good customer service. If the librarians are good at serving their customers they will get good reviews and more and more teachers and students will want to keep coming back. Another good idea to market your library is to have an aesthetically pleasing library. If the library looks nice more students are going to want to be in the library. Another good way is to post posters on the walls in order to promote reading and the library. Read posters are a good way to promote reading.

Promoting the Library: [], Marketing the Library, public library training. Ohio Library Council 2008. This is a very useful site that explains why marketing is important and how to market your library. Some other ways I would like to promote my library would be having eye catching displays, book fairs, well designed newsletters and a web site, and monthly activities that get the teachers, students, and community involved.
