Web Sites to Promote Libraries During Hard Economic Times
We’re working hard to develop a set of resources to share with Washington libraries that will help ease the burden during these hard times. As we continue to sift through sites to help your patrons build resumes, search for jobs, apply for unemployment, and learn new skills, here are a few that we’ve discovered so far. This list is excerpted and thanks to the Minnesota State Library’s Promoting your library as a vital resource during the recession document.
Advocating in a Tough Economy Toolkit (American Library Association)
The toolkit contains information on how to work with decision-makers, ways to work with the media, and talking points to help libraries articulate the role of libraries in times of economic downturn. The same web site provides links to the print, radio and television national news stories. Use the radio and television clips in multi-media presentations you develop.
