Daisy
Librarians, welcome to your creator era.
You’ve stepped out of the stacks and onto social, and the content is genuinely some of the best on the internet. In a sea of doomscrolls, you’re out here doing chaotic shelving time-lapses, “library life” behind-the-scenes, and joyful staff features that make people remember laugh.
Yeah, the reels thing? I know you started reluctantly after the director said “try TikTok for Summer Reading.” But those shelving time-lapses and awkward staff lip-syncs popped off—1K views on the holiday dance, comments like “This is why libraries rule!” Engagement’s up 300%. Patrons message: “Love your content!” You’ve turned everyday library work into watchable, shareable moments and you’ve made social feeds that much better and enjoyable.
But there's a missing step in your creator journey: putting a calendar in your bio.
Likes and comments are great, but you’re not making content just to build a following. You’re making the library cool again, trying to convince someone new to come to the author talk, to show up for storytime, or to wander the stacks and find their next favorite thing.
Yet, there's still a disconnect. Last week’s mystery author: 8 people total. Storytime hits 12 kids when you need 25.
Patrons cheer online, then ghost.
Details bury in feeds.
Website calendars hide three clicks deep, like a perfect rec lost in Dewey.
The gap isn’t interest. It’s your events getting found.
Real talk: You’re not failing at programming. Old tools fail your audience. Instagram posts reach 2-6% of your followers. Stories expire in 24hrs. Emails get lost. Flyers fade. Your events deserve the fans already loving your reels.
What if your community could see, in one place, everything happening at the library? What if they could add it to their calendar from your Instagram or Facebook bio? What if new patrons could search “library events Your City” and find you before they even knew your name? What if all of this was as easy as checking out a book?
Here's how Daisy works for you:
1. Connect Your Website Calendar or Add Events: Daisy pulls everything in automatically via API (no tech skills needed — we do the work so you only have to post once). If you do not have a calendar, no problems, Daisy can fill this gap.
2. Add to Bio: One clean link in your Instagram or Facebook bio shows your full event lineup — storytimes, crafts, author talks.
3. Patrons Subscribe: Followers tap to subscribe — no more “I forgot!”
4. Post Once, Reach Everywhere: Add Puppet Storytime to Daisy. It becomes searchable (“library events Chicopee”), shows in the Daisy Market alongside other local events, and alerts subscribers instantly.
Our goal is that your followers get reminders. Your rooms fill up. Storytimes overflow. Author talks hit capacity. You focus on books and content, not chasing attendance. A calendar in bio finishes your creator story by connecting your best reels and posts to real people in real seats at real events.
