On behalf of the NJ State Library:

A member of the ALA Advocacy Coordinating Committee said recently that the marriage of advocacy and marketing, recognized as so important at the national level, hasn't trickled down to the states. In these economically troubled times, all New Jersey libraries are invited to register for a statewide campaign to advocate for libraries by telling your library's stories.

So if you are looking for a way to tap into public support for your library, the State Library and NJ Library Association can solve your problem! We are sponsoring a statewide marketing campaign and contest that will help you create compelling stories about your library to gain the support of community members and elected officials. It will even help your library increase its media coverage.

But we aren't stopping there. We are going to provide workshops to show you how to create digital stories. We will help you start a story bank for your library. Need more incentive? We are sponsoring a contest with great prizes and providing beautiful promotional materials to help you get the word out about your library. Of course it's free!

Registration is underway. Go to: http://www.solvinglifesproblems.org Click on: "Are you a librarian?"
