- August 2016 – October 2016 first posts – experimenting with the how and the what? Looking for how we could use it to reach our community. Did some research…… Reviewed what other libraries were doing at the time. asked my social media guru (uni daughter for the latest fab way to insta with the best of them. She sent me to ……
- These wonderful bibliophile pages to be inspired….. These instagrammers made beautiful, expressive posts about books and reading….often linking everyday life to their book posts….images and text influenced how we post today… annreads vintagebook.love catebutler Storybookstyle Mybookbath xenatine May 2017 – through to today -
- To share the love of reading…. For example our: legal toolkit local studies collection parenting collection Ebooks, eaudio
- Library services…. For example our: Reservations DIY Kiosks Study facilities Microfilm reader printer for local history research Shopping trolleys Meeting rooms
- Jacaranda festival and our purple books ANZAC DAY and our war books Grafton Race week and our racing history books HSC Study events with our HSC collection Book Week Books Christmas books with Christmas
- New releases Old favourites Staff picks Series
- Guess what this is? Book faces? Funny videos
- Post 1x a day or every couple of days. Generally first thing in the morning (suits my schedule) #hashtags are important but be selective Googled popular book and reading hashtags and copied the ones I thought best from these lists to use. I always use the same #tags unless there is some additional ones not in the general mix that are worth adding for example: #jacarandafestval #parentingfestival #hsc #hscstudy #bookface #Throwbackthursdays #bookfacefridays #crafty #tech #localhistory #heritage #shelfie #whattoread Search for suitable instagrammers to follow to start with ie) #nypl #nswpubliclibraries #clarencevalleyculture #myclarencevalley Then follow this up every so often and follow your followers who merit it – library pages that are inspirational Local businesses with great instagrams Local personalities that are exciting… Emphasis should be on the interesting, spectacular or local. Great images with snappy text..if you want or love reading and looking at it then others probably will too. If you follow instagramers and love posts, this will help grow your followers and post lovers Spend a couple of minutes each week liking posts from those you follow…with a particular focus on local instagrammers…you like them they’ll (hopefully) like you”
- Focus is always the collections and the library services sometimes the “hidden” services of the back room have been highlighted with success Ie) our letter folding machine Our heavy duty Repair clamp Server room New stock boxes arriving from Bennett's
