Libraries with columns

December 13th, 2004

I bookmarked this article in my drafts folder on Friday, and on perusal today saw a great quote. The article is titled, “Library columnists share love of words“.

“After reading their columns and looking at their libraries’ Web sites, I have a strong urge to go visit each person. And I realize that is probably one of the reasons for a library to have a column: it gives a personal voice to an institution. And even a service institution like a public library can benefit from becoming more approachable.”

Interesting. We give these same reasons for your library to have a blog. Whatever the method, giving a personalized touch to your library which reflects on its mission is a great marketing tool. Also, why not combine the two?
