Do you have some great library promotional items and ideas? The MLA's Public Relations Swap 'n' Shop will feature samples and giveaways of successful library promotions. Consider submitting your samples of your promotional ideas with your colleagues. You don't even have to attend the annual meeting to submit your samples.

Contact Tomi Gunn at MLA headquarters for the submission form. If you are not attending the meeting but would like to submit samples, please send them to MLA headquarters by May 4.

Those who are attending the meeting and interested in learning more about promotional ideas and what type media to use, a PCI representative will also conduct a free marketing seminar, followed by a question-and-answer session. The seminar, "The Who, What, Where, When, and Why of Social and Traditional Media," will cover the best ways to use blogs, Twitter, local television, radio, and newspapers to get your messages to the right audiences.
