2023 Library Card Sign-up Month Marketing Toolkit by OWLS & NFLS

8/18/2023

September is National Library Card Sign-Up Month and a great opportunity to remind members of our communities of the many benefits of holding a library card.

Once again, OWLS and NFLS libraries will be receiving a generous supply of promotional stickers to help celebrate this time of the year. There are five new designs this year!

Use this use this marketing toolkit to help you promote Library Card Sign-Up Month in your community.

The marketing toolkit is filled with graphics and sample Facebook posts to help you get the word out. Each of the graphics has been set up as a customizable Canva template so that you can tailor it to your specific audience. Here are a few samples of what you will find:

The stickers have just arrived at the OWLS and NFLS offices and we are busy sorting and getting these ready to send out a supply to each member library. The stickers will be mooooo-ving out to the libraries next week.
