Hello
I am currently writing a Reader Development Strategy for the Isle of Wight.
I would be interested to hear from anyone who has had to do anything
similar. I've been given a blank canvas!
We have 11 branch libraries, a housebound service, one mobile, a hospital
and three prisons. So far i've visited the branches and am beginning to
formulate targets for each branch and wider Island initiatives. i believe we
need lots of promotion of libraries in the community through use of posters,
television and radio. i am also trying to encourage staff to dress up as
book characters and dance along to carnival floats. (i've had a mixed
reaction!)
If anyone has any ideas to share, please do. I would be really interested in
promotions to Prisons and Hospitals as I believe in my area they have been
neglected in term of promotions so far.
Thank you to all who have joined the list so far. It will be publicised in
Update and other journals soon, so hopefully our numbers will increase and
knowledge spread!
Thanks again
Ruth
