Yes, there are faithful standbys, such as Canva, but there is so much more out there that libraries can make use of! Many tools specialize in creating very specific types of visual content but are not known in the mainstream. Join Laura Solomon of the Ohio Public Library Information Network (OPLIN) in this recorded webinar for a one-hour tour of some of the best and most useful (and FREE!) online tools you can use to spice up your library’s marketing efforts.
