#48: Check it Out!

The possibilities for videos at the library are endless. Here are a few ideas:

(1) Clips from some of our programs. A series featuring authors from our recent African American Read-In will be up soon on our branch page.

(2) How-to clips: It would be helpful to show customers how to use our self checkout machines, or demonstrate how to print using the print vending system.

(3) We'd like to earn goodwill for the library by giving customers some "behind-the-scenes" glimpses, like "What happens when you make a request for an item?"

(4) Our Friends group can do a commercial for their used book store.

One thing I have learned -- all of us have different gifts! There are many tasks involved -- generating ideas; writing scripts; filming; editing; appearing on camera. Myself -- I am definitely an off-screen person!
