Tomorrow is Ask a Librarian Day!

By now, you should have all gotten your orange Delivery bags of goodies, including t-shirts, stickers and business cards. We’re asking every staff member at all our libraries to participate in Ask a Librarian Day by wearing the t-shirts and passing out the stickers and business cards that you received. Additionally, try talking about our service to every single customer who walks through your library’s doors. Remember, we want to get our customers talking about us to their friends!

Here are a few key speaking points to get you started. Please pass them along to your coworkers.

If you ever need help when you’re not in our library, visit askalibrarian.org.

1. Ask a Librarian is a website where you can go to get your questions answered by a real librarian.
2. Ask a Librarian is open until midnight Sunday through Thursday and until 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
3. You can use Ask a Librarian for free.
4. 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.
5. 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.

But most importantly, HAVE FUN on Ask a Librarian Day! Wear your t-shirts with pride!

Let me know if you have any questions.
