Promotion of your Library Listening Session
- Personally invite key library supporters who are knowledgeable about library needs. Make sure that you have briefed your trustees, staff, and friends of the library about the purpose and goals of the event.
- Contact other libraries in your area to gain their support and participation.
- Use posters or flyers to promote the listening session to library users. Provide handouts about key library issues as background for potential participants.(See "Background" on main "I Love Libraries" page.)
- You may wish to issue a news release to announce the event in your local paper. This will give the candidates some publicity, as well, and could lead to media coverage of key library issues.
