On the evening of August 25, 2009, WKU Libraries launched its creative marketing event dubbed as “Snacks in the Stacks.” Food, music, and Las Vagas-style pokers brought in numerous MasterPlan students to the Helm-Cravens Library. Players who got the right line-up of the cards won different kinds of prizes, ranging from T-shirts and pizzas to iTune gift cards and iPod devices.
Marketing Coordinator Jennifer Wilson was the mastermind of the event, which was facilitated by several of the Libraries faculty and staff from the Access and Reference units. The Dean of Libraries and department heads were all at the event–an event that Provost Burch described as “impressive” when she learned of it.
On September 27, 2009, Western Kentucky University Libraries, including the Kentucky Library & Museum, participated in the university’s M.A.S.T.E.R. Plan in the Preston Center. Several hundred students came to the Libraries’ booths to learn about these facilities and their services. Handouts with gifts of pens and cups with the Libraries’ logo were handed out during the event.
