[Michlib-l] A little bit of Country

[Smiley,Trent]

Last week, CADL kicked off Libraries Rock with a little bit of Country. We partnered with WITL radio on a unique promotion that gave two lucky people the opportunity to become "Roadies" during the Taste of Country Concert in Lansing. The winners got to help behind the scenes, as well as meet all the bands including Country Music Star, Brett Eldredge. (Images of winners with Eldredge and crowd size are attached)

CADL used the promotion to create awareness of SRP, drive web traffic (entries were taken on our site)  and position the library as a source for Country Music. There were over 250 entries and 9,000 people in attendance for the concert on June 9th. We also experienced a double-digit  increase in SRP registrations when compared to the same period in 2017.

Attached is branch monitor artwork  for a contest we are running with Disney's Lion King. Patrons can win tickets by checking out titles with Lion in the title. We will be doing a similar contest for School of Rock: The Musical. Hoopla has both titles in its collection and excited that both show tour companies signed off on these promotions.
