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:
When Orange County Library System added an Ask a Librarian logo (of their own design) to the Orange County Library System catalog pages, their number of monthly chats jumped from 27-85 chats per month to an average of 270 chats per month. Wow – that’s a serious jump. Way to go, OCLS!
Want those numbers for your own library system? Look out for this Friday’s TGIF Tips for suggestions on marketing Ask a Librarian for your library, or contact us today to ask about how to increase your library’s visibility of Ask a Librarian to your own users.
