Now it is time to promote your library

How to promote your libraryWell done! Hopefully you have followed this guide step-by-step and you are now ready to promote your library.

Remember though that the best-stocked and maintained library in the world is no use if nobody knows about it! Here are a few points to take into consideration:

The first step is to ensure staff are fully aware of the library and know:
• the location
• the opening hours
• the contents
• lending and supervision arrangements for both staff and clients
• security procedures in place (if any)
• how to use the library, especially the CRCI codes and more complex resources such as Adult Directions.
Posters displaying the opening times are a simple and effective way of informing clients of the service. Include a mention of the library on all your marketing material i.e. leaflets, flyers, and letters.
An example of a Library Promotional leaflet can be found in the 'Downloads' section, to view go here.
Staff training
It would be good practice to allow staff to have time to explore and browse the library, you can use the Library Training Quiz - found in the 'Downloads' section to make it more fun and interesting, to view go here.

Well done! That is the end of the tour around the adult careers library resources guide, we hope you have found this information to be useful.
