PR Hint of the Week - March 29, 2004 - Small Town Pride

I'd venture to say that a large reason many of us choose to live in Montana is the small-town feeling of community pride in our home towns. We live in communities where we all must support local events for them to be valuable and beneficial. One of the best ways to gain support for your library events is to show support for your other local community activities.
Attend your students sporting events, volunteer to judge at speech and debate tournaments, listen to school and community concerts, sponsor a float in annual parades, etc. Your students or patrons will be delighted to see your interest in their activities and will be that much more willing to attend events you sponsor. And think of how much fun you'll have in the process.
