Images, gifs and video rule the web today! A 2012 study showed that posts with relevant images garnered 94% more views than posts without images. More recent studies show similar stats for engagement on Facebook and other social media.

During this workshop we'll look at a wide range of resources for finding quality images and tools for creating images, posters, flyers and more. Some examples of the tools this workshop may cover include Canva, Haiku Deck, and Periscope.

BRING YOUR COMPUTER and/or other devices! This is a very hands-on workshop. You'll have time to explore a range of tools that are of interest to you and meet the needs of your library community.
