You can supplement those in-the-moment conversations with digital and print marketing materials and how-to’s about Libby, available from OverDrive and from Wisconsin’s Digital Library Marketing Committee: The Public Library Resource Center on OverDrive’s website contains many marketing resources, including print-ready materials. Available resources include:

The competitive award comes with a $20,000 grant that will help the library improve accessibility to their building through improved automatic front doors and updates to their bathroom facilities. “We are so proud to be chosen for this amazing opportunity,” said Library Director Carol Petrina. “This grant will allow our library to better serve our residents with disabilities. It will make our building easier to access and ensure this population feels welcome and comfortable in our space.” As part of the grant, Kewaunee Public Library staff will take an online course in how to lead conversations, a skill vital to library work today. Staff will then host a community conversation with residents about what makes a building aging and disability friendly and use the grant funds to create a more welcoming building that is easier to access and use. In working with the Kewaunee County Aging-Friendly coalition, the library identified the connection between quality of life and the need for accessible spaces. If you are interested in getting involved or taking part in the conversation, please contact the Kewaunee Public Library at (920) 388-5015 or visit www.kewauneepubliclibrary.org for more information. |
