Your Library on a Postcard

Postcards are excellent means for promotion and can provide all kinds of publicity opportunities.

Now that photography and printing are within the reach of many, many can afford to produce attractive cards at an easy manner, in large numbers in a cheap way.

The objective of the poster is to encourage libraries to produce and issue their own postcards.

These may be used as tools in various ways:

• Publicity: where the library is, services provided, opening hours
• Support of campaigns: promote reading, free access to information
• Membership rallies
• Attract or advertise sponsors

Examples will be shown of nice cards from libraries in different parts of the world, with suggestions for possible actions.
