Saline County Library EXPERIENCES: Summer Reading 2020

DEPARTMENT spotlight Marketing Each month, we will be highlighting one department to show you what we’re all about. From the outside, you may only see library staff checking books in and out, running programs or helping you with computer issues. While some staff members are responsible for those tasks, every one of our staff members does so much behind-the-scenes work to best serve you! The Marketing department consists of Marketing Manager, Kari Beesley, and Marketing Coordinator, Jordan Reynolds. Between the two of them, they handle the internal and external marketing for the Saline County Library. Kari manages the external marketing, which includes being a part of different community groups, attending community events, and creating connections with local businesses. She is the President-Nominee for Bryant rotary, is on the Leadership Saline County board, and is a Benton and Bryant Chamber of Commerce Ambassador. She is also the mastermind behind the Library Card Sign-Up Month promotion that offers discounts to businesses during the month of September! While Kari is out in the community, Jordan handles all internal marketing efforts. She monitors and schedules all of the social media content, promotes events and services at the library, and manages contact between the library and media outlets in and around the county. She also creates this magazine every month, takes photos at programs, and helps the four other libraries in Mid-Ark Regional Library System with their graphics and newsletters. Together, our Marketing team was one of ten libraries in the United States to receive the John Cotton Dana Award in 2019 for their Library Card Sign-Up Month promotion!
