All staff of member libraries have access to the courses in the Library Lever Academy - have a question about getting set up? Let us know.

New Course Description: Social media provides an opportunity for libraries to engage with people outside of the four walls of the library. In this webinar, we’ll discuss how to shift from promotion, which is a one-way conversation, to engagement, which is a two-way conversation. We will discuss strategies such as content, analytics, active listening and social media as a customer service point. We will also discuss the pros and cons for centralized and decentralized management of social media, and how governance and policy can be balanced with creativity and flexibility.
