It's TV advertising, but at a price libraries can afford!! And they offer a far more interesting way of promoting what libraries do and what services they offer, but I'm not sure if they are not more time consuming than they are worth. Particularly for local libraries where the staff can help as soon as the patron enters the library. Still, I guess that a variety of forums allows access to a variety of audiences, and videos offer another way to reach the younger demographic, which could be particularly useful for encouraging students to better use their library.

I really enjoyed the extracts of the film about Olive - what a character!! This offers a great way for these stories and pieces of oral history to be recorded, because it is such a loss if the stories of the older generations pass away. One of my greatest regrets is that my grandmothers were not interested in telling stories of their early life, and so there is all this family history that has just been lost.
