Marketing Your Library Makeover

Marketing Your Library Makeover

Wednesday, January 22, 2025

12:00 - 1:00 p.m.

Online (Zoom)

A renovation at your library, whether it’s as small as some new furniture or the building of an entirely new building, is an exciting but also daunting marketing opportunity.

How do you honor your library’s past and your patrons’ memories? How should you best convey vital information to ensure a smooth transition to the new space? Finally, how do you keep the excitement alive after the grand opening has come and gone?

In this webinar, marketers from Helen Plum Library will share their best practices, tips, and lessons learned from promoting throughout the process.

All ILA Noon Network webinars are free. The webinar recordings are available to ILA personal members shortly after the webinars. Registration for all live webinars is limited to Illinois libraries.
