  40. Why video? • Good PR • It’s an item of interest on the homepage • Keeps ‘em coming back • Friendly, personal, makes patron feel like someone is talking to them • Incorporates community stuff into library video • Ties the community back to the library

  41. How I do it • Pick a format and stick to it • introduce myself • state date of video/events • list big events going on • be at an event that you mentioned the week before • group events together if possible (all at one agency, all one type of event, all one age group)

  42. How I do it • talk about a service we offer, physically or virtually; examples: • Dunkin Donuts • Book Clubs page (Book Talk feature) • PINs--gave lots of reminders before deadline • SRP--mentioned in previous four videos

  43. Video-making tips • talk as if the patron is standing in front of me • incorporate something I enjoy • planning in the future to do videos incorporating my running, my new kitten, camping • nothing too fancy-schmancy • needs to look very casual and off the cuff, "man on the street" feel • have A LOT of energy  • keep them relatively short to accommodate attention spans
