GENERAL FESTIVAL BRANDING
Want to help us shout about Festival of Libraries? Then look no further!
Here you’ll find a whole bunch of ready-made festival branding which you can use to celebrate and raise awareness of this year’s festival.
(Psst! If you’re looking for place-specific branding or a way to create your own event posters, check out the Borough Branding page.)
POSTERS
These posters are for general use. In other words, do what you like with them! Print them out to decorate your libraries. Add them to your email newsletters. Or share them online (along with #FestivalOfLibraries) to help us spread the message far and wide. Each poster has a different theme based on this year’s celebrations. Use the powerpoint background as a holding slide if you have a projector behind one of your events.
Click the buttons below to download and save the posters.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Why not share in the celebrations on social media? Help us reach people all across GM and get them excited about this year’s festival!
Here's a draft announcement post you can use on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn. Feel free to get creative and put your own spin on it.
We're delighted to be taking part in this year’s @MCRCityofLit #FestivalofLibraries with exciting events taking place in Greater Manchester libraries from 10-14th June.
