Are you looking for creative ideas to promote your readers services? We’ve collected some of our favorites here to get you started or help give you a refresh!
Chances are you’re operating under some different circumstances due to COVID restrictions. Not to worry. We have lots of ideas for promoting online including:
- Share staff picks on your website and social (LibraryAware customers have access to some great graphics for this one!)
- Set up an online book discussion
- Add a book river widget to your library’s website
- Start (and promote!) an online storytime
If your doors are open or you’re offering curbside service, consider:
- Place blook flyers in items recommending what to read next
- Make book bundles with a unifying theme (Check The Secret Language of Books for added inspiration)
- Create themed displays – think book clubs, Staff Picks, popular TV shows!
Partner up with your community and:
- Find out about running a regular RA column in the local paper
- Provide partners with custom booklists for their sites – think cookbooks for the local farmers market or pet training at the local adoption organization.
