Library staff are always thinking of new ways to reach the community to advertise library events and programs. Library Services Manager Jen Shaffer submitted two scripts to WMNF 88.5 radio station recently and they were both accepted. She accompanied me to the station on Friday so I could record our promotional blurbs. The first Public Service Announcement highlighted the library's request for Local History items:
"Largo Public Library is keeping the past alive as we celebrate the
Library's 100 year anniversary and expand our online digitization
project. Largo Public Library is located at 120 Central Park Drive, in
Largo.
We are collecting vintage photos to scan and preserve in
our Pinellas Memory database, as well as memorabilia from the Largo area
to display at the Library."
This announcement can be heard on the following dates and times.
Monday 10/27 in the 5pm hour
Thursday 10/30in the 5pm hour
Saturday 11/1 in the 9am hour
The second one advertises an exciting upcoming program:
"Largo Public Library will be hosting a Florida Humanities Council
program, The Scent of Scandal: Inside the Wild World of Orchid Smuggling
featuring author Craig Pittman on Thursday, November 6th at 6:30pm.
Largo Public Library is located at 120 Central Park Drive in Largo.
Attendees will be riveted as Pittman tells a story of black-market orchid sales, smugglers, and scientists.
It is one of the weirdest "weird Florida" stories ever, and it's all true. Space is limited."
This announcement will run on:
Saturday 11/1 in the 12pm hour
Saturday 11/1 in the 11pm hour
Wednesday 11/5 in the 8pm hour
Don't leave us for a career in radio!
