Legislators may come and go.
They may support libraries,
or they may not.

3.
Corporations may come and go also,
but they have a financial investment
in WV with a need to
advertise their philanthropy.
(It’s good for business
and a tax write-off.)

So…
Corporate Partners need us too.

What do West Virginia Libraries
have to offer in return?
Copyright 2014, Mary Rayme
12.
West Virginia has three larger-sized library websites for:
• West Virginia Library Commission
• Mountain Library Network
• Northern Library Network –
(This website is inactive )
Copyright 2014, Mary Rayme
13.
How many page hits do these websites have each month?
If the numbers are large enough, this can be used to entice
Corporate Partners to sponsor WV Libraries.

Corporate Sponsorship of Services could look like:
“Ancestry and Heritage Quest provided by
KeyLogic Services of WV”

15.
Libraries also have
printed collateral materials.
How many West Virginia library cards are issued every year
and how many cards are active in total?
(Corporations want to know the numbers.)
Copyright 2014, Mary Rayme
16.
Because
we are a sparsely populated and rural state
with a lower annual income, West Virginia especially
needs corporate sponsorship to be able to compete in
the global marketplace.

Hey WV Libraries.
We have advertising space.
Let’s sell it.
