Call to action - Let's get creative

We need you… to help us create fun and compelling summer reading content for social media!

The best way for us to engage our customers is to give them a look behind the scenes, show them the personality and know-how of our staff and show them that the library is a fun and inviting place.

As summer reading approaches, it is time to prep our social media posts to share throughout the program. So, get creative and try out some new ideas - you are not limited to the ideas and examples used in this post.

Key points of interest to relate content to:

• Summer reading excitement!
• Rock and Roll for the “Libraries Rock” theme
• Pop-culture trends/current events we can relate to the library/summer reading
• Summer vacation/summer slide
• And of course...library resources

Upload your completed videos, photos and other media HERE (Email Victoria if you have trouble).

If you have customers in your photos/videos be sure to get a signed form granting permission, located HERE.

VIDEOS and GIFS

Here are some suggested apps to use:

• Boomerang
• Hyperlapse
• Musical.ly
• Dubsmash
• And of course... Your regular phone camera

Examples:

• Use Hyperlapse to show someone checking out/shelving materials
• Use Boomerang to show someone running through the stacks
• Use Musical.ly/Dubsmash to create a rock and roll themed music video
• Use Boomerang to mimic a famous gif that shows how you feel about summer reading
