Watch Now

The Library Marketing​ Show, Episode 87

In this episode, I’ll answer a question from Jennifer from Lexington County Public Libraries. She writes, “Keeping in mind fair use guidelines, would it be better to post our virtual pre-recorded story times to our Facebook story rather than to our timeline. My understanding is that stories only appear for 24 hours and can be tailored somehow to only reach certain audiences. Do you have any suggestions?”

Kudos in this episode go to Pottsboro Area Library for hosting telehealth appointments at their library.
