[Michlib-l] Library Marketing & Communications Conference 2023

[Katie Rothley]

Dear Michigan Libraryland (Michlib-L and TLN)

In case you didn't know this existed, there is an annual conference just
for Library Marketing called the Library Marketing & Communications
Conference (LMCC) and it is scheduled to take place this November 7th & 8th
in Indianapolis, Indiana. I attended last year (after just discovering it),
and I'm hoping to make it this year but it hasn't been determined yet, and
I have to say every single session is focused on some aspect of library
marketing and communications. IF you want to further your professional
development and network with peers doing the same things, or cool things
you can bring back to your library, see if you can attend. I wouldn't want
anyone who could benefit from this to miss it just because they don't know
about it!

There is also a Library Marketing Book Club based on Facebook and run by a
really cool library marketer who manages a marketing department for the
Jacksonville District Library in Florida, Chris B. who is one of the
nicest, most helpful library marketers I've ever met. If you have the time,
try to attend one of the virtual book club meetings. As you can tell by the
name of the group, they read a marketing book each month and discuss it and
how it relates to library marketing.

Lastly, I want to extend an invitation to anyone in a library marketing
role who is proud of a project, or some achievement, or has a cool skill to
share, OR has a question or questions about some aspect of library
marketing, to reach out to me at rothleyk at gmail.com. I have a podcast that
I do on my own time, called Library Marketing for Library Marketers,
focused on conversations around social media, policies, email campaigns,
successful ads, press releases, lessons learned, etc... I hope you'll
consider reaching out to me. We just have to figure out our schedules!

If you belong to a consortium that is not TLN, please consider sharing this
with your consortium listserv.

My sincere thanks,

Katie
