Re: [ha-Safran] Online ideas for library promotion

[Shmookler, Cecile]

If you don’t have an online catalogue, and you think you may want one, consider 
using LibraryThing  (Librarything.com) and LibraryThing’s new online 
cataloguing software for small libraries, called “tinycat.” 
(https://www.librarycat.org)

Depending on the size of your library, these are free, or very minimal amounts 
of money.

Subject: [ha-Safran] Online ideas for library promotion

Dear Hasafranim,

For various reasons, I've been looking into ways to promote my library online. 
The library is included on our synagogue website, but, to be frank, it's an 
awful website, maintained by volunteers and intermittently updated. Besides, 
the religious schools from the 2 shuls in our town have merged, making the 
library more of a community library than ever and I'd like to capitalize on 
that.

What about a separate website? What about a facebook page with a blog? I know, 
a lot of work, but if I don't do this, I'm worried the library will die a slow 
death.

Believe it or not, my 15 yr old daughter is planning a whole "marketing 
campaign" for the library with Instagram and twitter and snapchat and all the 
things 15 yr olds do (I'm very clueless about all this), which is so wonderful, 
but I'm unsure what works and doesn't. Anyone have experience managing your own 
promotion? Oh, by the way, I have no money to spend.

Thanks,

If you have an online catalog, you can use it as a “portal.”  The shul  website 
should have a link to your catalog, at the very least!
