Libraries today offer much more than just books.
They serve as community gathering spots, technology hubs, makerspaces, and educational resources. Libraries also host story times, summer reading programs, STEM workshops, and community events.
Promotional products help libraries raise participation, thank supporters, and create memorable experiences for people of all ages.
If you’re planning a reading challenge, promoting programs, or thanking volunteers, here are six promotional products that can help you connect with your community.
1. Paws N Claws® Magneticmark Bookmark
A bookmark is a practical promotional product for any library, and a fun character design makes it even more appealing to young readers. Hand out these bookmarks during story time, library card sign-ups, or summer reading challenges to encourage kids to keep reading.
Since people use bookmarks every time they open a book, they act as a simple reminder of your library and support literacy programs all year long.
2. Learning About STEM Coloring Book
Many libraries now offer STEM programs, makerspaces, and educational workshops for children and families, going beyond just books.
A STEM-themed coloring book introduces science, technology, engineering, and math in a fun and easy way, and gives kids an activity to take home. These books are great for family learning nights, outreach programs, makerspace events, and community festivals.
3. 1" Custom Hard Enamel Lapel Pin
Lapel pins are a creative way to celebrate participation and get people involved.
Libraries can give custom pins to kids who finish summer reading challenges, recognize dedicated volunteers, or thank Friends of the Library members. Pins also make great keepsakes for special events and anniversaries.
Many people like to collect pins, so they’re a promotional item that people often keep for years.
4. The Amherst Journal
Libraries have always been places where ideas start.
A good journal gives patrons a place to take notes while studying, joining workshops, attending book clubs, or investigating new interests. It’s also a thoughtful gift for guest speakers, volunteers, donors, educators, and staff.
A journal is a practical item that reflects the lifelong learning your library supports every day.
5. Linen and Cork Tote Bag
Every library visitor needs a simple way to carry books home.
A sturdy tote bag helps patrons carry books, laptops, craft supplies, and makerspace projects, while also promoting your library in the community. Whether it’s used for shopping, travel, or daily errands, your logo stays visible long after their library visit.
Tote bags are also popular for fundraisers and make great welcome gifts for new library cardholders.
6. SlipZip Small Reusable Storage Bag
Small organizing products often become everyday favorites.
A reusable storage bag is great for carrying pens, charging cables, headphones, craft supplies, snacks, or other small items. Students can keep one in their backpack, parents can use one for family outings, and patrons can organize materials for classes or workshops.
Since it’s useful in many situations, people are likely to keep and use this promotional product often.
