Setting up a library blog is an excellent way to increase public awareness of your library and to connect with patrons. The following are steps you can take to get started:
1. Determine your library’s mission.
What do you want your blog to accomplish? The mission should be reflected in your website and in the content you produce.
2. Choose a platform.
There are a number of platforms available, including WordPress, Medium, and Blogger. Each has its own set of features and benefits.
3. Create a content strategy.
What topics will you cover? What types of content will you produce? Think about what readers might want to know about your library and the services it offers.
4. Get creative! You don’t have to stick to the same format or style every time you write a post.
Be creative and experiment with different ideas and formats.
5. Spend time planning and editing your posts.
It takes time to produce quality content that will resonate with readers. Make sure each post is well-written and error-free, and that it reflects the spirit of your library’s mission and vision.
