“Working with Angela at NoveList has been an absolute privilege. Over the past two years, she has proven to be far more than just a manager; she has been a crucial leader whose strategic thinking has elevated our projects to new heights. Under her expert guidance, we've hit significant milestones, creating innovative, high-quality courses for Learn with NoveList that have greatly enhanced customer satisfaction and engagement. Angela's commitment to my professional development has been particularly impactful. She encouraged me to sharpen my communication skills by joining Toastmasters and also empowered me to lead our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion group. Her dedication to nurturing the potential of each team member makes her stand out as a remarkable leader. Her interpersonal skills are equally impressive. Angela has a natural talent for building and sustaining strong relationships both inside and outside the organization. She always shows a genuine interest in the ideas and concerns of clients and colleagues, fostering an environment of collaboration and mutual respect. This approach has not only improved our team dynamics but has also deepened our connections with clients, making our projects more effective and responsive. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have worked under Angela's dynamic and compassionate leadership. Her influence on my career has been profound, leaving a lasting impression that continues to inspire me and others around her. Angela's ability to lead, inspire, and connect makes her truly an exceptional leader.”

About
I'm proud to lead an outstanding team of marketing and training professionals at NoveList, a company dedicated to helping libraries reach readers. I also strategize and execute NoveList's social media and blog content and manage the marketing budget. I have strategy, PR, email, social media, and collection marketing expertise. My background includes nearly seven years as the Marketing Content Team Leader for the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County and more than 20 years as an Emmy-award-winning broadcast TV journalist.
In 2015, I started the blog SuperLibraryMarketing.com. There, I share in-depth promotional strategies and tips for libraries around the world. I'm also the host of "The Library Marketing Show" on YouTube, a weekly segment where I answer viewer questions and share quick tips to help make the job of marketing a library easier and more effective.
I've been fortunate enough to work as a speaker, sharing insights and engaging audiences at conferences and events around the world for organizations including:
📚Library Marketing and Communications Conference
📚Ohio Library Council
📚Indiana Federation of Libraries
📚Illinois Library Association
📚Edge Conference for the City of Edinburgh, Scotland Council
📚Mississippi Library Association
📚New England Library Association
📚Inland Northwest Council of Libraries
📚Ontario Library Association Super Conference
📚Wild Wisconsin Winter Web Conference
📚Bergen County Cooperative Library System
📚New South Wales, Australia Libraries
📚Association of Small and Rural Libraries Conference
📚Southwest Ohio and Neighboring Libraries
📚Northeast Florida Library Information Network
And many more.
I also served as chair of Citizens for Finneytown Schools, the political action committee that successfully passed a 7.69 mil bond issue in November 2019 to build two new schools in Finneytown, Ohio.
I can be reached at [email protected]. My opinions are all my own. 😊

How can you prioritize important tasks and avoid missed deadlines?
Our team tracks tasks and subtasks using Monday.com and Asana. I have a standing appointment on my schedule on Fridays to look through my tasks for the next week and schedule them into my workdays. Like Kellee, I use color coding on my calendar. I also am sure to mark myself as "busy" for tasks that I know I must complete to meet a deadline. If the task requires my full concentration, I'll message my team on Teams to let them know I'll be fully focusing on the work. Then I shut down Teams and Outlook to remove all distractions.

From Library Journal: "Angela Hursh’s passion for helping libraries promote their programs and services is unrivaled, and her blog, superlibrarymarketing.com, is an invaluable resource for libraries around the world. Since the blog’s launch in 2015, she’s published 425 articles and videos, which have been viewed more than 426,000 times. As manager of engagement and marketing for NoveList, Hursh lately has been using her skills and hands-on experience to help libraries uphold their First Amendment rights by fighting book bans.
Additionally, Hursh writes and coproduces an extensive library marketing, advocacy, and collection curriculum for the Learn with NoveList online professional development platform, which she codeveloped. Through these marketing-specific courses, she has worked with hundreds of people, teaching them how to set marketing goals, create promotions that reach those goals, and measure their efforts.
The library was an integral part of her childhood, and Hursh says she is driven by the desire to tackle the increasing number of threats faced by libraries and the world of books in general. This was the impetus behind the in-person presentation “No More Neutral: How to Use Marketing to Position Your Library in Challenging Times.” As Angela puts it, “When a library has marketing success, it makes the organization stronger, and when one library is made stronger, it makes the entire library world stronger. That’s what drives me to do the work I do every day.” -
