Stephen as a South Park Character – Library Marketing Ideas

OK- I really love these things. Here’s a picture you can make at the South Park Studio site. You can customize it to look like you!

You can make your own here.
You may remember me as a Simpson character too.

You can make one of these here at Devil Ducky’s Simpson Maker.
Here’s a few ideas on how libraries might use these tools.
1. Don’t stop at you! Make characters for your colleagues, your teen club or any avatar you want to make.
2. Use your picture on one of your librarian trading cards. (Don’t know about this meme? Check it out on Flickr. You can make your own here.)
3. Have a fun week on your library website and have all the staff pages use avatars.
4. Use these for Halloween on your website portal! Dressing up isn’t just for real anymore.
5. Gift your trustees with a caricature on gaming night.
6. Make a cool business card or book mark.
7. Make a name tag or desk sign with your character.
8. Tie this to a graphic novels promotion (there are sites to make anime or habbo characters etc.)
9. If you’re planning an outdoor book sale, hold it in the south end of the park and use this theme.
10. There are plenty of avatar and character creation sites, so if the Simspons or South park don’t grab you or yor community, find another set who do.
