Marketing and Outreach Strategies to Engage Your Community

Don't miss out! There's still time to register and learn how to increase your community's engagement in your library programs and services. You'll have the chance to learn from expert guest speakers and join a project-based workshop to learn tangible skills you can apply in your library. All sessions are recorded for on-demand viewing.

See what one of our past participants had to say: 

"This course was absolutely fabulous. The enthusiasm of all the speakers for their topics made me feel as if I could successfully tackle the insurmountable mountain that is Marketing&Outreach, even as someone with limited experience. Within days of learning about successful marketing tips, I was able to utilize them for my own event planning. It's gratifying to see something I learned in a workshop was so quickly and easily put into my own practice!" - Maria Lentini Access Services Library Assistant III
