Go Places Scavenger Hunt
LIBRARY MONTH WRAP UP
Our Barbie-themed fall marketing campaign ran on Facebook ads and in-person at our libraries over the month of October. We were very pleased to see the uptake from library users; there were 687 entries into the prize contest, and we made 225 Barbie-themed library cards for patrons.
The winners have received their prizes. Congrats to all the winners and thanks to all who participated. Stay tuned for next year’s campaign!
