  4. Target a specific group or audience on the value of libraries
    - Public Library Outreach to Farmer, in which the Rolling Prarie Library System of Decatur, IL, promoted the agrarian resources available in libraries with "Think outside the barn @your library."
    ALA has created a website devoted solely to the Kids Campaign with all kinds of tools and activities, with the slogan "So Much To See, So Much To Do @your library."

  5. Create partnerships to expand message (anything from investing, to magazines, to products, to information)
    - ALA partnered with University Radio to develop a new campaign in response to data showing that Latinos are less likely than other groups to use their local libraries. So together, ALA and University Radio began to air public service radio ads across its network of 70 stations in the 16 Latino markets nationwide.
    - ALA partnered with Walgreens to promote health literacy, and since then, 16,400 public libraries have receive brochurese on the new Medicare Drug Discount Card, and 10 libraries have received grants from Walgreens to host healthy literacy seminars with valuable information and resources.
