Couldn't agree more - I keep saying that our libraries need marketing (some areas already do) as a lot of people still think they are places full of ancient books where you have to be quiet.  Ours is very noisy, more like an internet cafe (but free!), with all the latest DVDs and computer games plus of course books, and I think that should be publicised.  We had six copies of the new Harry Potter on the day it came out and they just sat there on the shelves!

It's true that in terms of services to the public, lending books is slipping down the list and many people now use their library for family history research, to serf the Internet or to just sit and chat over the daily paper.

I found my local library an excellent source of research material when I was looking at 19th century newspaper reports. They had micro-films of The Times and the local paper for all of the dates I needed. The staff were fantastic too.

Yes, marketing in a Theatre(and confrence venue).  We are part of a multi-billion dollar organisation called Clear Channel Entertainment, you might have heard of them.
