When the Trico fails you

Japanese original

​write down the call number

English translation

​write down the call number

Think about a library you love—it can be the Swarthmore library, your high school library, a public library you love.

What are your favorite things about the library? It can be services, specific resources, a space, a program, a philosophy or even a feeling.

Hands-on activity:

Develop an outreach strategy for a community

• Draw a slip to select your library type and outreach type

• Imagine a program, resource, or service you want to advertise.

• Some guiding questions:

  • ​Who is the target audience?

  • Is there a built-in audience, is there an untapped audience?

  • What tools are at your disposal?

  • What limitations might you face?
