SUMMARY:Spring Marketing Campaign Brainstorming
DESCRIPTION:Over the years\, Parkland has undertaken several regional marketing initiatives. The Golden Ticket Contest in October and Library Card Sign-Up Month in September have had great participation and feedback from member libraries. Having another contest or campaign earlier in the year would add some consistency to the marketing efforts of libraries. We’re looking for your feedback to determine if this is something libraries would be interested in\, and what and how to run a campaign that will make the biggest impact for our member libraries. \nAnyone in charge of their library’s marketing efforts or interested in marketing should join us for this brief feedback and brainstorming meeting. \nJoin the meeting now\nMeeting ID: 292 427 786 009 15\nPasscode: LN2Hr7Fn

SUMMARY:World Read Aloud Day
DESCRIPTION:Reading aloud is a key that unlocks a lifetime of connection\, happiness\, and success for children. Research shows reading aloud builds powerful neural pathways that contribute to both emotional wellbeing and academic success. When a child is read to\, they are transported to a world of possibility\, joy\, and magic\, and learn to form deep connections to themselves and the people around them. By celebrating the read aloud\, we celebrate and share all that it is to be human.
