POWER UP AT YOUR LIBRARY DAY – THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2016
In April 2016 at annual conference, the TLA PR + Marketing Committee launched the campaign “Ideas Powered: It’s What We Do” to showcase the innovation, leadership, and technology-centered work being generated in today’s libraries.
Reedy Library joined the committee in raising awareness about libraries, and planned programs for POWER UP AT YOUR LIBRARY DAY which we celebrated on on Thursday, September 15, 2016. Collectively, participants around the state will showcase how libraries, digital learning, and communities come together.
