Rhymes With Orange: Promoting library services

Description

Title panel:
A patron asks a puzzled-looking librarian, "So, do you guys work on commission?"

Main panel:
Two people are approaching a building covered with signs:
"Special trial offer! 8 books, 2 weeks, zero dollars"
"Complimentary internet access"
"Get a membership card at NO COST if you just act now."
"Our return policy: No receipt needed, no questions asked."
"Special offer: No admission fee weekdays or weekends!"

One person wonders, "Wait, isn't that the library?"

"Sssh," the other replies. "You'll scare people off."

Hey, it's all about selling it! And if that means we need to do more PR work about the things that we do (and do well), so be it.
