Marketing to Libraries (EP + AP)
Friday June 27, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm EDT
Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia, PA
Yes, it’s entirely possible—and often advantageous—for publishers to market directly to libraries. While large publishers have dedicated sales teams, mid-level publishers can effectively market to libraries by focusing on relationship-building, addressing specific library needs, and offering unique value propositions. Panelists are prepared to discuss strategies for marketing to rural and urban libraries, co-hosting events that help libraries with community engagement and promote literacy or cultural awareness, authorless event kits and marketing materials to help promote titles without straining library budgets, in-person and virtual events exclusive for library patrons (eg, author talks, book clubs, themed workshops), best practices for promoting print and digital collections to libraries.
