Got Something to Say?

Libraries often have things going on that interest the local press.
Many of the press in our communities maintain LinkedIn profiles to identify stories too. Do our PR folks have LinkedIn profiles linked to important local press and freelance writers? I hope so.
Also, I found this a useful tip list from Mashable this week.
20+ Free Press Release Distribution Sites
Free. The price is right. Got something to say? Got a cute special interest photo of that smiling tot at storytime? Got some pictures of a successful gaming tournament with a soundbite of how many kids borrowed books too? Got a small business seminar that local entrepreneurs loved? Gotta mascot? Gotta writer or poet in residence…. Let’s get all of our cool stuff off the bulletin boards and into the local paper’s websites and dead tree formats.
