Geek the Library

February 5, 2014 by claibornelib

Geek the Library

The Geek the Library project is a community public awareness campaign aimed at spreading the word about the vital and growing role of your public library and about the critical funding issues many U.S. public libraries face. The campaign is sponsored by OCLC, a nonprofit library cooperative that has provided services to help libraries deliver more to their users for four decades. Supported by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, OCLC partnered …with Chicago-based marketing communications agency Leo Burnett USA to create the campaign. To learn more about this campaign and how your library can participate, visit http://get.geekthelibrary.org/.

WHAT IS GEEK THE LIBRARY?
The Geek the Library campaign grabs people’s attention and serves as a reminder about the immense value public libraries have for individuals and for communities. The awareness campaign introduces the word “geek” as a verb and illustrates the fact that everyone is passionate about something-everyone “geeks” something-and that the public library supports it all.

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT
*Who You Can Talk To:
You can impact how your library is funded. Find people in your community and start a conversation. Talk to your friends, your neighbors, your co-workers and people influential in your community.

WHAT YOU CAN SAY
*There’s a lot to talk about. Learn why libraries need and deserve your support.

WHAT CAN YOU DO
*You can make a difference. Keep your local public library vital by letting others know that you care. Share what you geek. Share what your library does for you and your community. And share the news that the library needs your community’s support in return.
