Please note the building opens at 10:00 AM. We will begin promptly at 10:15 AM. Refreshments will be served.
James Fox, President of the Friends of the Somerville Public Library, will talk about how their group successfully uses social media as an advocacy tool including rules of thumb for engagement in social media. He will also highlight the programs the Friends of the Somerville Public Library have created to connect with different audiences, and touch on the idea of the library as community space.
Brandy King, a social-media-award winning librarian and the owner of Knowledge Linking, will provide information on how to talk, when to talk and what to talk about in order to create an engaging Facebook presence. You will see examples of successful pages from both in- and out-side the library world, and walk away with concrete ideas for connecting with your audience.
We’ll conclude with a panel presentation of your fellow Friends discussing successful Fundraising events including playing mini-golf and croquet in the library! Please bring your ideas, including handouts, to share with the group.
Everyone is invited to attend including Friends, trustees and library staff. Friends Sharing with Friends is sponsored by The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners and the Massachusetts Friends of Libraries.
