Thanks for your help in promoting this blog! As an introduction to this project, please read this letter from Jan Walsh, our State Librarian, which describes the main features of this project, and our reasons for undertaking it. The following are some ways you can use and promote the Book Blog:

• Send a press release to your local newspaper. This template gives you all the relevant information. Just fill in your local contact information and a quote from someone in your library.
• Order free bookmarks that you can distribute to middle school students at your library. Keep them at the circulation desk or in the youth services area. There’s no cost for the bookmarks and buttons themselves, and there’s no cost for shipping either. Order as many bookmarks as you think you’ll need, but please limit your order to 100 buttons per branch. Orders are subject to availability.
• You can also Print the Bookmarks out yourself! They’re five to a page, so you’ll need a pap
