Hi, Mark your calendars for the next MI PR Group Meeting. Mary Ruthko from the Bay County Library System will lead a learning session about Canva. Tuesday, March 16 at 10am on Zoom Canva is a graphic design platform, used to create social media graphics, presentations, posters, documents and other visual content. The app already includes templates for users to use. The platform is free to use and offers paid subscriptions like Canva Pro and Canva for Enterprise for additional functionality. The MI PR Group was created to bring Michigan library marketers together to share successes, learn from non-successes, and to tackle industry issues together. Whether your job title is "Marketing", or promotion is just one of many hats you wear, this group is here to support you!
