The citizens at the Ohio White House
Conference sa id that one of the things
lib ra ri es should do a better job of is
publicity and public relations.
As I wr ite t his I am surrounded by
eighty-two (82) newspape r clippings
about libraries, a service OLA/OLTA
subscribes to from the Ohio News Bureau
Company.
An interesting thing is that they
are all from July, not the most gung-ho
month of the year. A lot is going on in
librar ies around the state and some li­braries
are tell ing thei r s t o ry. A
sampling shows: Canal Ful ton Libra ry of­fers
computer s er vice; Jackson City Li­brary
sponsored a program on the role
of the draft horse throughout hi s tory;
Wellston Public Library had a program on
c reati ve sign language; the Sunbury Com­munity
Public Libra ry sponsored an arts
and crafts fai r ; Lima Publ ic Library
had a program on snakes of Ohio; Lo rain
