DIVISIONAL NEWS (OPLA) New Resources: Marketing Your Digital Content Last fall, Toronto Public Library (TPL) and Ottawa Public Library (OPL) ran campaigns to raise awareness with library users and non- users that libraries have lots of digital content available to borrow, free with your library card. The campaigns include some or all of the following elements: an in-branch promotional piece; transit ads; social media ads for Facebook, Twitter and Google; social media promotion; as well as a contest on Twitter and Instagram. TPL and OPL are happy to share their campaign toolkit with you in a format that you can customize for your own market and your own offerings. We all benefit as more people learn about digital content at the library and borrowing rates continue to increase. Access these free resources on the OLA website.
