<p><font color="#006600" size="4" face="trebuchet ms,sans-serif">DESCRIPTION: Libraries are more than books, and worth much more than book value (the sum of all tangible assets). How do we educate our community and funders that libraries are more relevant than ever? Why promote our library when we already have more patrons than we can handle, and staff and resources have been cut?

Marketing professionals and Librarians present strategies for promoting any size library, building support for library funding, innovative ways to reach and keep new patrons.</font></p>
