Project poster

#MyLibraryStory is a social media advocacy campaign that aims to promote user stories about library services and impact. The project arose from the observation that much of the social media conversation about libraries was centered on librarians, and it is an attempt to expand the sphere of that conversation to include non-librarian voices. The primary contribution of #MyLibraryStory is a series of 5 video interviews showcasing different user stories about how libraries have impacted the subjects’ lives. These videos were released throughout the month of May and shared to Twitter and Instagram.
