Here’s how you can promote Library Card Sign-Up Month:
Social Media Sharing:
Share your library experiences, favorite books, or why you love your library on social media. Use hashtag #LibraryCardSignUpMonth and tag OFPL to help spread the word.
Word of Mouth:
Tell your friends, family, and colleagues about the benefits of having a library card. Your personal recommendations can inspire others to sign up.
Participate in Library Events:
Join events at the library, like book clubs, story-time sessions, or classes. Be sure to check out our events calendar to stay up to date on all our current offerings.
Volunteer:
Consider volunteering with the Friends of the Library. This amazing group does so much to support and enhance the library’s programs and services, and there are many different ways to get involved and make a difference.
Write Testimonials:
Often, patrons don’t realize how much the library has enhanced their lives until they take the time to reflect on it. Share a testimonial or story about how having a library card has benefited you by posting it on social media or emailing it to the library. The library can then share your experiences on their social media channels or in promotional materials to help others see the impact of library services.
Support Library Campaigns:
Did you know the library hosts donation drives for diapers, school supplies, animal shelters, and more? In addition to Library Card Sign-Up Month, the library also has campaigns for the Library Crawl and National Library Week. Consider contributing or helping spread awareness during these special events.
Bring a Friend:
Invite a friend to visit the library and sign up for a card together. Making it a social activity can be a fun and effective way to encourage others to join.
Every action you take helps to build a stronger, more connected community. By promoting Library Card Sign-Up Month, you’re not only sharing the love of reading and learning but also empowering others to discover all the resources and opportunities our library has to offer. Together, we can make this campaign a huge success and ensure that more people experience the joy and benefits of having a library card. Let’s spread the word and make a difference—one cardholder at a time!
