What's Up Wednesday - Reaching Out to Residents Who Are Not (Yet) Library Users Online
Participants will leave this presentation with ideas on how to reach residents who may not regularly utilize the library. This presentation focuses on creative ways to partner with other local organizations, and we will share our success stories of how we were able to bring in more patrons with our outreach efforts.
It's hard to believe that I have been working in public libraries for more than ten years now, but here I am. Over that period of time I believe I have done a little bit of everything; shelving materials, circulation, reference, tech services, cataloging, budgeting, management, materials purchasing, policy writing, grant writing, and so much more. My passion is really in library outreach and I absolutely love talking to people about the library. I have been invited to many local and regional groups to talk about the services, programs, and materials our library offers and those meetings are always the best part of my job. When I'm not working I love spending time with my family (husband and two wild children - ages 6 and 3). Antiquing, traveling, and hiking are all activities that bring me joy.
