2. “Staff picks” of downloadable audiobooks; use “dummy” audiobook case, with earbuds or headphones.

3. You’ll be able to view reports of circulation and usage from your patrons; use that for your own “best listens” list

4. Hold a “launch party” for WILBOR; demonstrations of the website and downloading

5. Posters, flyers, bookmarks, etc. [They're coming!]

6. Purchase MP3 carrying cases with WILBOR logo and info (Janway) to give away.

8. Have a drawing for an mp3 player

9. Put announcement on flat screen digital display, digital announcement board, etc.

10. Give away a disc with the library's WILBOR info on the round label (labels can be purchased at office supply stores)

Longer term:
