Legal information social media campaign

Anyone visiting your library may need legal information - they may be having a problem with their rental home, going through a divorce, have a traffic fine they can't pay or are trying to negotiate a new fence with their neighbours.

Libraries can provide information about many everyday legal issues. Posting on your social media channels is a great way to let your community know that the library is a source of legal information, and to let them know where they can find information and help.

Use the suggested social media posts on your channels during Law Week or at any time of the year.

A selection of social media posts have been created for you to share across your social media channels. Copy and paste the content and download the relevant image to share on your social media channels. The posts highlight content on the Find Legal Answers website and information from legal agencies.
