Description
Attracting event attendees to stop and interact with library staff about library resources and services is a persistent problem in librarianship, especially when you are competing against other, “flashier” exhibits within the immediate area. The challenge is to come up with a way to captivate people and engage them long enough to enlighten them about what the library has to offer that doesn’t involve lugging around a heavy or awkward laptop and requiring access to often patchy or expensive internet service.
