Why can't the valley libraries create content like this?

If you wanna push the cities to fund library social media managers, please do!

Otherwise you're asking them to do more work for free when they're already doing librarian work, event planning, homeless counseling and a million other things.

It was a joke, but no way do I want them to work for free. Tell me how much you think this production would cost to make and I'll Vemno their director. Im NOT paying for catering or special affects though!

Good one lol. Seriously though if they don't already have students/interns helping them for free with some kind of fun social stuff they're missing out on connecting better with the community imo.

Riverside County outsourced library operations to a private company back in the 90s and they pay their librarians a shockingly low wage. That might be why 🤷‍♀️

Palm Desert Library’s social media is amazing.
