The Program: Determining and Reinforcing Organizational Branding for Libraries in Culture, Communications, and Social Media Efforts

John LeMasney will lead a discussion aimed at enhancing our awareness of how our libraries are interpreted as individual organizations and resources.  Does it match our intended mission and outcomes? We can use cultural elements, communication methods, social media efforts, and interpersonal interactions with stakeholders to emphasize and underline what our libraries are and why they provide valuable benefits to their unique patronage. Please join us to add to this valuable discussion on brand in libraries!
