We also use google slides (via chrome sign builder) on a large tv in the
library.
We feature many of the things you do, but also include some slides
featuring answers to FAQ - how to print from your phone, how to check out
library materials that aren't books (headphones, ebooks, etc), how to
request an interlibrary loan, etc. It has alerted library users to services
they didn't know about and increased the usage of our resources.
