Tell your library’s best story
The communications and marketing team leads public awareness efforts for Georgia Public Library Service, delivering key messages to external audiences about the value of libraries in our communities.
We publish Library News and lead email marketing, social media, media relations, branding, photography and video services, and more. Staff also provide consulting services and training to help libraries strengthen their communications strategy.
We aim to be a strong resource to Georgia libraries, providing timely, useful, and compelling tools to increase their capacity and to demonstrate the need for and impact of public libraries.
