[Michlib-l] Deadline to register for November 6 media coaching program is Friday

[Heather Ladiski]

Time is running out to secure a seat for this great opportunity to learn 
valuable tools to make your library even more visible in your community. 
The deadline to register is Friday, October 31.

On November 6, 2014, the Cooperative Directors Association, the Library of 
Michigan, and the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) will 
co-host a program instructing and preparing librarians on interacting with 
the media.

For the low cost of $70/person (including lunch), you will work with 
public relations expert, Robert Kolt, of Kolt Communications, and his team 
on skills such as talking to the media, what to say and when to say it.

Head of the journalism faculty at Wayne State University and Michigan 
Radio’s senior political analyst Jack Lessenberry will present on how to 
develop win-win relationships with local journalists. Reporters, now more 
than ever, need trained librarians to help teach them how much and in how 
many ways they can help reporters do their jobs. Librarians need reporters 
help in promoting local events and services.

This program will be held at the Meijer branch of the Jackson District 
Library. For more information and to register, go to the Media Coaching 
for Librarians events page:

This project is supported (in part) by the Library of Michigan with 
federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
