65 Reasons to Love Your Library

The 65 Reasons to Love Your Library list was conceived and developed by TLA's Public Relations Committee under the leadership of Sue Haas, chair of the committee from 2003 -2005. Undergoing many revisions for over two years, the 65 Reasons are now the basis for this toolkit, developed by the committee under the leadership of Dee Brock, 2005-2006 chair. Texas libraries are encouraged to use these materials in developing local promotional campaigns.

Three cheers
for libraries!
Don’t you just
love ’em?

The 65 Reasons to Love Your Library PR kit provides tools to help you create a local campaign around some of the most important contributions your library makes to your community.
