Recruitment tool

Have you used your library as a recruitment tool? Have you brought potential home owners or employees to the library? If not you are missing a grand opportunity to impress newcomers with a beautiful community center with fantastic services.

Everyone wants to live in a community which offers a wide variety of recreational and cultural activities. Your library provides activities for all ages, and recreational reading as well as information about your favorite recreation is certainly standard fare at your library.

Recently I toured a mother and teenage son through the building while Dad was at an interview. The boy
patiently walked through the children's area and adult stacks with us. He browsed through the book shelves
in the teen room and looked at the variety of reading and game spaces. As we left the area, he said "This is reason enough to move here, Mom." Once animated we discussed science fiction authors and the sci fi collection that is available at your library. He was sold.

Let me know if you have other visitor impressions that you would like to share. Tours are available to you by calling the administration office, 687 -0009.

I wish you had more help. I use the library a lot, it is clear you need more people.
