Program calendar and promotional calendars
by Comstock Youth 19 Jan '22

19 Jan '22

Hi all, Would anyone be willing to share a year-long program calendar that they collaborate on with their program team? We are a busy youth department with four program staff members and we need something more than our many paper calendars right now. Additionally, how does your social media guru keep everything organized? How do your librarians and program staff contribute to social media? I know some libraries use Trello, Google Calendar, Team Up or the like but other recommendations are always helpful. Many thanks! -- Liz Castleberry Head of Youth Comstock Township Library (269) 345-0136
