Today is Ask a Librarian Day!

Are you donning a t-shirt and passing out stickers? Have people already started asking your staff members what askalibrarian.org is? If so, then you’re smack dab in the middle of a successful word-of-mouth marketing campaign. Have fun with this!

While you’re talking to your customers, be sure to mention the following points:

1. If you ever need help when you’re not in our library, visit askalibrarian.org (or find the link on our library’s website)
2. Ask a Librarian is a website where you can go to get your questions answered by a real librarian.
3. Ask a Librarian is open until midnight Sunday through Thursday and until 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
4. You can use Ask a Librarian for free.
5. If Ask a Librarian isn’t open for chat, you can always email your question to us, and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours.

Don’t forget to take pictures of your customers wearing stickers, your staff wearing t-shirts, any Ask a Librarian displays you’ve put up for this special day, or anything else you think is photo-worthy, and email them to me at sachsd@tblc.org. Include names whenever possible so we can properly attribute the photographs.

Have fun today, and let me know how it goes!
