Here's another installment in the in-house marketing campaign at the libraries of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University.
It follows last year's Halloween-style theme, which produced posters such as this one:
(Those won us the team Honorable Mention for Outstanding Public Relations Efforts from the American Library Association.)
Librarian Sarah Gewirtz told me:
Turn Up Your Support
MPR News helps you turn down the noise and build shared understanding. Turn up your support for this public resource and keep trusted journalism accessible to all.
"We want students to feel like our libraries are comfortable places; inviting places, where they can go to study, read, or get help from a reference librarian. This specific campaign is for students to realize that we [librarians] aren’t scary, but fun, knowledgeable people that want to help them."
I wish my alma mater had shown this much personality.
Gewirtz said the staff is hoping to put out a new theme each year.
For now, you can see this year's poster series here and last year's here.
