While very interesting, not sure general patrons will stop and watch the whole video on Social. Sounds like it should be on the History Channel
Ammura

How can we encourage our staff to do these promotions if people want nothing to do with public facing things? Many don't want to show faces or be featured online or be known as the staff who does this specific area for privacy

Is having a consistent schedule more important or less than having quality or less-repetitive posts? I'm prioritizing consistency even if it means repetitive info rn

For our very small libraries with tiny staff, I wonder if board members or volunteers might be willing to be on camera. 
Kate Chambers
Unverified

I was pondering this too. We're a staff of six and at least half of those would NOT be on camera. But we have our friends group and probably some volunteers who might!

Matt

I'm sorry I haven't used Power Point if you can believe that
Kate Chambers
Unverified
2:54 PM
Canva can be used like power point but can also cover print materials, videos and more. it's pretty user friendly and if you're a small enough library, you might qualify for "canva for nonprofits" which gives you access to the premium features for free
Ammura

Imo it just makes things look more modern and attract the younger generation. It's also very seamless to use for different social platform, and saved me a lot of time.

You mentioned not posting things like holidays hours on the feed because it's getting low engagement - if it's posted on stories, do you worry about patrons not seeing it again
