Press Release: Demco Software : Demco Software Encourages Libraries to Engage Their Communities at ALA 2018

We're asking librarians to share stories about how their libraries engage and make a positive difference in their communities.MADISON, Wis. (PRWEB) June 13, 2018How would you finish this sentence? "My library ________." Librarians attending the 2018 ALA conference will have the opportunity to do just that when they stop by Demco Software's booth, #2846. We're asking librarians to share stories about how their libraries engage and make a positive difference in their communities.Earlier this year, we offered attendees at the Public Library Association conference in Philadelphia the same opportunity to share, and we were so inspired by their stories. Every response gave a unique snapshot of the individual library and community it serves; however, several themes emerged, from community outreach, to programming for seniors, to acting as a safe haven when the community is in need.Expanding Horizons: Helping People Learn and GrowMy library serves.
