Public Relations - An Awareness Vehicle

The feasibility study also became an awareness vehicle. And that was important. Millbrook is a small village and we wanted to make people favorably aware of the project. We did a big public relations campaign, which meant being in the local paper, Millbrook Roundtable every week.

There was a new reporter on staff who was wonderful and who wrote an article about the library every single week. We then had terrific articles that we could send out to show what we were doing and how important the library was to the community.
