Last school year, the TxASL Legislative & Advocacy Committee began a social media campaign, Let’s Promote Libraries!, with the hopes of encouraging school librarians to promote themselves, their programs, and their instruction. The campaign is back for the 2018-2019 year, and it has been tweaked and improved to help showcase all the fabulous happenings in school libraries.
It is organized around the revised Texas Library Standards, and each month’s topic is framed as a question. Each question begins with, “Did you know that school libraries…,” followed by one of the standards.
On the 17th of each month, we’re asking school librarians to send a social media message about what we do. You can post on any social media outlet or even send an email to a stakeholder. We want to focus on local stakeholders first, and then at the state and national levels.
It’s easy to participate!
Step 1: Look at the current month’s question.
Step 2: Snap a photo and write your message showing how your library shows that standard.
Step 3: Post your message and photo on any/all platforms of social media.
Step 4: Be sure to use the hashtag #txaslleg along with other key hashtags.
Step 5: Repost/retweet/share
There are two infographics to guide you. One explains the full campaign. The other only shows the monthly topics.
So gear up and get ready to showcase those great programs, instruction, and collaboration that contributes to the success of students and your school!
