Adult Library Programs that Work

 

Looking for program ideas to draw your adult patrons in the door of your library and keep them coming back for more? Join author and library director Jenn Carson to explore workable program models that can be adapted to your patrons and your physical (or virtual) space.

Topics include something for everyone, with sections on Food & Drink, Arts & Crafts, Books & Writing, Technology & Media, Health & Wellness, Business & Finance, and Nature & Gardening.

Attendees will:

  • Discover who you really think an "adult" is and how you can serve them
  • Walk away with at least 3 new ideas that will work for your audience, budget, and space
  • Learn how to tackle logistical issues like administrative buy-in, finding funding, accessibility, marketing, and legal matters
  • Understand the importance of community partnerships in program planning
