Because the library was changing locations all over campus due to construction, I decided to create an MVHS Library Instagram page. My objective for creating an Instagram was to provide a platform where I could update students instantly about any library related news.

Below the image I wrote, "Cat got your tongue...err...book? Try using our new eBooks! Just head over to the library website (link in bio), click on catalog, and then Follett Shelf."
I added hashtags (#) that connected users to our site. For this page I created the hashtags #cat, #library and #eBooks. People who want to follow us were directed to our IG page by the use of these hashtags.
A flyer was created to advertise our new IG page and an announcement was made during the morning student broadcast. Another promotional idea I have is wearing a tee shirt that will say, "Follow us @movalhslibrary on IG!"
There are all kind of uses for Instagram combined with library marketing that I haven't even discovered yet. The best part is the positive feedback I've received from students, which has been fantastic!
