Marketing has begun adding all system-wide promotions to a Google calendar [1], so staff can stay in the loop on what we have planned.

The pre-determined themes for each month will determine the types of things that we post on social media, write about in ShelfLife, send customer emails about, advertise and pitch to the media.

We encourage you to tie in the programs and displays you have planned for the month when you can and continue to send us photos and upcoming events you would like to promote.

Here is a look at the themes for the coming months:

February

• Black History Month (BHM) - African-American Heritage, African-American History Online & African-American Newspapers
• Friends of the Library Booksale

March

• Teen Tech Month
• Spring Break – eAudiobooks, eBooks, Kanopy

April

• Tax Resources – IRS.gov
• Lego programs (National Architecture Week)
• Poetry Titles for National Poetry Month

May

• Graduation/Adulting – Career Resources
• Popular new comics
• Lawn and Garden
