Finding YOUR Voice on Social Media

Author

Catharine Richardson

Description

How do they do it? Those libraries that always have something to say on social media – how do they find their online voice, and how can you find yours?

suggestions that you can post every day of the year!

 

Presented by Catharine Richardson. Catharine is a board member for the Redcliff Public Library. She has developed the library’s social media program and is on the Advocacy Committee. In her day job, she runs her own company, WebGenii Consulting, which provides computer application support and computer training.
