The key to making SLE work for your library is getting the word out to parents and other potential donors. Here’s a quick list of ideas to help you.
Promote Web Widgets Web Widgets create an easy-to-use gateway to your book requests from any site or blog.
Leverage Social Media SLE is very social media friendly. Make sure you’ve made the most of its Twitter and Facebook connectivity.
Leverage Promotional Resources We’ve got a whole host of ready-made off-line resources you can use at your library counter and on your own library blog pages.
Raise Awareness Among your School’s Parents Get your PTA involved in driving donors to your school’s page. Set up Laptop check-ins at school events.
Donation Badges Tell people to add our badges to their web pages to drive traffic to the site – and your library page.
Get some help If you’re pushed for time, ask the PTA or other volunteers to help administer your page.
