Spooky season is finally here so I put together a few designs celebrating books and libraries. If you like them, feel free to use them! Four poster designs and four bookmark designs! Again, these posters and bookmarks are absolutely free for you to print and use! 

School and public libraries are under attack and need your support. Please consider contacting your local representative to ask that these institutions remain funded and protected.

For additional freebies celebrating Banned Books Week, please check out my Tumblr post here.

If you would like to see more of my library/activism designs or would like to get these designs on a T-shirt, book bag, or sticker, you can visit my shop here.

Outside the Lines is a weeklong celebration demonstrating the creativity and innovation happening in libraries. Sept. 11-17, 2016

Sept. 11-17, 2016

Libraries are dynamic centers for engagement that help everyone in your local community be their best. To shift perceptions, we need to demonstrate how the library is more relevant than ever before.

Let’s not just tell people how libraries have changed; let’s show them.

Whether your organization is large or small, a school library or a public library, you can participate by hosting at least one event or campaign that:

Gets people thinking – and talking – about libraries in a different way. Showcases the library out in the community as well as in the library. Highlights how your library is relevant to people’s lives. Represents your local community. Is active versus passive – gets people engaged. Is extraordinary and unexpected. Most importantly, is fun!

Brilliant promotion! For National Library Week, the library asked 17 members of their staff and one Board of Trustees member " to pose in replication of the American Library Association's wonderful READ posters, capturing some of the most iconic over the years."

JK Rowling checks out Orkney's award-winning library in person

It’s a little way from the centre of the books world, but the wit (and tweets) of this enterprising amenity has been drawing some very starry attention, with Rowling gatecrashing their book club this week

Now this is how to promote your library on Twitter.

Promotion / Marketing

‘Promotion is just one part of marketing.  A full marketing strategy for the library service or for readers within that, will involve much more than planning a programme of promotions.  A marketing strategy includes careful attention to market research, trend analysis, brand identity and image, audience segmentation, customer profiling’ The Reader-Friendly Library Service, Rachel Van Riel, Olive Fowler & Anne Downes p. 140
