PR Hint of the Month - February 2009 - MT Legislator READ posters for you!

Hello Montana Librarians,

Below is a list of legislators who recently posed for their very own READ poster to support Montana libraries. You can download an 8 1/2" x 11" poster yourself at http://www.mtlib.org or if you would like an 18" x 24" poster, please let me know (Ljackson@mt.gov) and I will make sure you get a copy at the MLA Conference or sooner. School libraries, university and special libraries--the offer stands for you too! Let's all take part in this unique win-win marketing campaign for Montana libraries!

Montana's Congressional delegation of Max Baucus, Denny Rehberg, and Jon Tester also posed for posters, as did Governor Schweitzer and Secretary of State Linda McCulloch. You'll also note there are a few county commissioners' posters on the list. Check to see if they are yours! You can also get copies of any of these posters for your library--just let me know!

Thanks to Jim Kammerer at the State Library for spearheading the legislator picture-taking event at the legislator library night in January, Diane Papineau at NRIS for taking the great photos, and Stacy Bruhn at the State Library for putting the posters together and getting them on the MLA Webpage. Remember--please e-mail me at Ljackson@mt.gov if you would like a copy of your legislator's poster--or if you have any questions regarding this project. Thanks much!
