**12.15 - 1.15 Angela Hursh from Novelist**
 
The million dollar reason your library should market the collection… and how to do it!

//Why do libraries invest so much money into their collection and then neglect to specifically market it? The most recent research from the Pew Institute shows that people get a library card because they want to check out materials like books, e-books, and audiobooks! In this session, NoveList Senior Engagement Consultant makes the case for why your library should make promotion of books and materials a priority. She’ll share three specific strategies for promoting your collection, even when your physical buildings are closed, providing lots of examples along the way.//

Presentation was viewable for four weeks from seminar date.  The information from the presentation is still available in the above video.
