This session will cover importing usage statistics into Alma, LibInsight, and other free SUSHI harvesters. Presenters will demonstrate how to set up vendors and how to generate reports on these platforms. Bring your questions so they can help you troubleshoot any issues you have encountered.

Does your library’s social media feel like another "overdue" task on an endless to-do list? Between managing collections and serving patrons, finding the time to craft the "perfect" post can feel impossible. But here’s a secret: Your community doesn't need perfection - they need to see you.

Join us for a webinar designed specifically for busy library staff who need to balance a digital presence with limited time and resources. We’re moving away from high-production stress and toward "scrappy" storytelling - the kind that builds genuine connection without the burnout.

Presenters:

Megan Kaiser, Senior Resource Librarian at Wake County Public Library, has 20 years of library experience, eight of them in design, communication, and marketing. Megan is admittedly a late adopter of personal social media who has ethical concerns about feeding the attention economy that is social media and its overlords. She is learning to 'just have fun with it' after being burned in a public scandal that played out on Facebook.
 
Katrina Vernon is Wake County Public Library’s Assistant Director, and has worked for WCPL since 2007. She is new to the communication and social media world, and, having never been burned, is always saying, “let’s just try it!” or, “what’s the worst that could happen?”
