Subject: Library brochures?
***cross-posted, please feel free to repost***
Hello, everyone. I need to do a tri-fold brochure to summarize and promote our library and was wondering if someone had their brochure that they’d like to share.
So far, I found one site for school libraries http://lmnet.wikispaces.com/Library+Brochures that has a few brochures that are giving me some good ideas, such as http://rhsweb.org/library/pdf/Parent_pamphlet2007.pdf and of course, the winners of MLA’s Creative Promotions brochures: http://www.mlanet.org/resources/nml-month/ (BTW, the 2009 NLM poster for National Medical Librarians month looks great.)
I greatly appreciate your ideas, and I will summarize to the lists.
Take care,
Tanya
