Event Details
You know the power of storytelling. After all, you work in a building where you are surrounded by some of the best stories in the world. So why is it so hard for libraries to tell their own stories? It's because we
often get stuck at the very first step in the process: finding the most memorable stories to share with our community. The quest for library stories that have emotion and a compelling story arch perfect for
library advocacy is more difficult than it sounds. But, in this course, you'll learn how a good story becomes good marketing, and practical tips to find stories that you can use for advocacy and promotion.
Learning Outcomes:
• Understand the critical connection between storytelling and long-term engagement of the community.
• Discover the benefits your library will see when you use stories to build trust with your community.
• Identify the characteristics that turn a good story into good marketing.
• Learn how to find and gather stories that will work for your marketing.
