planning. But times are changing! Community members now have more choices for
books, information, entertainment and assistance. Don’t let your library become
invisible due to perceived lack of time, money or marketing savvy. Jamie will
help you think differently to achieve the basics of effective marketing without
a ton of money or staff. From promotional videos to eye-catching emails, you'll
learn about marketing techniques and tools available to even the smallest of
libraries. Discover simple ways to gain attention and increase attendance.

there to make these crucial connections for them. Many libraries are now
exploring ways to expand their role as connector to community social services
through resources such as webpages, mobile apps, and databases. These services
might refer somebody to a free meal, legal assistance, support groups, and much
more. Join us to hear examples of how referral services and resources have
