Promoting The Director’s Chair at Your Library

Are you brainstorming yet?  Ask a Librarian has kicked off its third annual Director’s Chair contest.   The Director’s Chair is a contest to have high school students create our next PSA.   We hope to get the PSA airplay throughout the state.     The past years have given us some incredible PSA’s – check them out!

Some ideas for your promoting include -

- Posting the flyer in your library
- Talk to your teens about it- maybe help create a space and time for them to work on the video
- Place a link to the Director’s Chair on your web site.  (logos are here )
- Post to your teen blog about the contest
