Ask a Librarian March Madness Month

Where each day brings a surprising fact, a fun activity, or an Ask a Librarian award … and a chance to brag about our incredible services!

 FUN FACT:

Do your patrons know that they can get live help until MIDNIGHT five nights a week, and until 5 PM the other 2 days?

The chat portion of the service is available to users seven days a week for a total of 84 HOURS: from 10 am to midnight Sunday thru Thursday, and from 10 am to 5 pm on Friday and Saturday.  And… your patrons can email you 24/7.

With 84 hours of live help (and anytime emails!), Ask a Librarian helps patrons at their point of need – even when your doors are closed.

Word of Mouth Marketing (WOMM) – Spread the Word!
