Library Logo: Expand Your Mind @your library® Motto: Learning Knows No Boundaries Marketing Tools: *Brochure that highlights the online resources of the school library, as well as web addresses and access information for students to use at home. *A blog to update the community on happenings in the library such as author visits, collaboration with colleagues, and student work. Also could be a place for the librarian to write reviews of books and have students add their own comments if they have read the book. Links to online web resources could also be found on the blog on a page. The librarian could post the collection development and weeding policy on the blog on their own pages, as well an annual report for all stakeholders to access.

We also have a District Digest which promotes programs in the district. In addition, there is the principal's page (newletter) which is both on the school web-site and in the PTA newsletter (hard copy and electronic). The blog you mentioned could also be a part of the library web page, which students have access to when they sign on. One other sourece we could use is a poll (I need to look this up) but it is a Web 2.0 Polling program. It might be interesting to poll certain groups **. **


 * Our school uses the Destiny Quest program to review books. One of the assignments for 4th and 5th graders have is to write up a review of a book they'd like to recommend to a friend. **
