10:00 - 12:00 Bite Sized Marketing: Realistic Solutions for Overworked

Librarians- Do you find your patrons aren't taking advantage of all the
services your library offers? Maybe you have some really cool
collections that are being overlooked or parents bringing the kids in
for story time who have no idea they could download eBooks. Do you have
a small library with an overworked staff?  Don't despair. Join Nancy
Dowd for this fun, fast paced session and learn simple strategies that
will help you leverage the work you are presently doing to get the
greatest impact for your library.  She'll share examples to inspire you
and will help you create a plan specifically for your library.  Be part
of the Bite-Sized approach to marketing of using simple strategies to
get great results.
