PNLA/WLA Conference Session -- Lights! Camera! Action! Using Video to Promote your Library

The world we live in is becoming increasingly digital and public libraries are working hard to stay relevant. Using YouTube, embedded web videos, free wiki software and social network promotion the King County Library System is working to reach online users. Promotional videos highlighting engaging events, unique library resources and staff expertise are produced in house. Videos are then posted to the KCLS YouTube channel, the KCLS website, KCLS social networking presences. The Tell Me A Story wiki is a story time companion complete with embedded videos of rhymes and songs. Teen librarians run the Read.Flip.Win contest where teens create book trailers and book reviews. Come get ideas so your library can expand its online presence.
