@your Library DIGITAL Signage More and more libraries are using digital signage to spread the word about library services, resources, and programs, but it's not always a cheap or simple endeavor.

One great, inexpensive alternative would be to employ digital picture frames! Think about what informational and promotional materials do/would you feature on digital signage?
