Libby
Post, President of Communication
Services, helped 28 out of 30 libraries in the Mid-Hudson Library System win
their referendum campaigns in 2005-06 through her innovative Library Campaign
Training Institute. MHLS hired Post for its “Get to Yes” project. A seasoned
campaign consultant, Post also has over 20 years of experience in not for profit
branding, marketing, public relations and fund raising. She is now taking her
electoral campaign experience and putting it to work for libraries and library
