Libraries, museums, historical societies, arts organizations, and cultural centers play an essential role in every local community.

They preserve stories, create experiences, host programs, bring people together, and give residents and visitors more reasons to connect with a place.

Locable has worked with these kinds of organizations for years, and we’re expanding our focus to help them market more effectively with limited time, limited budget, and often limited staff.

That includes tools for events, registrations, donations, memberships, newsletters, websites, and 15-minute marketing activities that help them stay visible without becoming full-time marketers.

We also want them to be key participants in Locable Communities - sharing updates, promoting programs, and helping strengthen local cross-promotion.

Thanks to Rhea Heritage Preservation Foundation, Augusta Public Library, Oberlin Public Library, Tazewell County Public Library, Saline District Library, Estill County Public Library, Heritage Farm, McMinn County Living Heritage Museum, Pony Express Barn & Museum and many others.

Promote programs, exhibits, events, stories, and community updates with less busywork. Locable helps libraries, museums, historical societies, and arts organizations stay visible, current, and connected.

You already know a community calendar is valuable.

But “submit your event” can quietly create a participation tax.

That is why many calendars go stale.

The issue is not participation. The issue is making participation unnecessarily expensive.

See how connected local content helps Chambers, Main Streets, Tourism groups, and municipalities stay current with less chasing.

Hey Locable family, (this is Brian, CEO), I'm here to support my son, who is on the Fayetteville Main Street youth leadership team.

They're doing a promotion to spread the word about our Slawburger festival, and if you could take a minute to check out this video, it would help him and his team win a contest.

It might even give you some ideas to promote some fun stuff happening in your community too.
