Hi Nikki, all of our libraries have been approached about this in Nottingham City, but I haven't had chance to investigate it yet. Have you decided whether to work with them? Thanks Jane From: lis-pub-libs: UK Public Libraries <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Cooper Nikki Sent: 21 December 2018 15:02 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Book giveaways in libraries as part of a media promotion Anyone else been approached to use your libraries as a collection point for book giveaways as part of media campaigns in magazines and newspapers? Anyone doing this already? What would you consider the pros and cons? My initial thoughts are below: Pros Increased footfall Opportunity to 'cross sell' library services Using the 'giveaway' as an opportunity to tie in events and other book promotion activities within the library service A small amount of new stock from each campaign Cons Staff time operating a voucher system or other collection process on behalf of the promotion Storage of items and access to books waiting or collection (could be 150 items) Delivery and access to buildings Administration time Thank you, Nikki Nikki Cooper, Interim Bibliographic and Library Support Service Manager Cambridgeshire Libraries, Archives and Information Service<https://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/residents/libraries-leisure-&-culture/libraries/> Roger Ascham Library Site Ascham Road Cambridge CB4 2BD Email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Telephone: 01223 699115 Twitter: @cambslib<https://twitter.com/cambslib> Facebook: Cambridgeshire Libraries<https://www.facebook.com/Cambridgeshire-Libraries-134524859924810/> The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
