If you haven’t taken a look at this terrific library marketing video from LIS students at the University of Pittsburgh, what are you waiting for? These students could teach experienced library marketing experts a thing or two about selling the library to young people.

Shameless self-promoter
no matter how well they advertise it, there is almost nothing that will make me enjoy using Pitt’s libraries—and I work for two of ’em!
the website itself sucks (and doesn’t work without a www on the front, which is just lame—so 1996…); the catalog is a pain (which goes with the staff program, which is several pains at once); the article search (which is outsourced to some private company, it’s not even on Pitt’s server. . .) claims to also search books, but doesn’t; …. but maybe i just need to stop comparing Pitt to Michigan (whose libraries i worked at in high school and community college).
beautiful dog, btw.
