We’re going to cover a lot... • programs for 20- to 40-somethings • forming an advisory board for input on program • programs for seniors • programs that promote your services and collections • intergenerational programs
to register or not to register - that is the question • promotion • social media • partnering with organizations or individuals for programs • author events
Bringing in 20- to 40-somethings (whether they have kids or not) • educational aspect is cool but what will really add value is...
Other program ideas for 20 to 40- somethings: • Literary speed dating • Adulting series • Fantasy football draft night • Television discussion series • Science programs
Forming an Advisory Board To get the demographic in, you have to ask that demographic what they want from their library
Programs to promote your services • Back to the Future eBook Club • Group workout video class • Downloadable Day right after the holidays • Hula Hoop contest
Intergenerational Programs • Community-wide scavenger hunt • Paper airplane contest • Any kind of food competition • A cappella
Challenges: • Take registrations or cross your fingers for drop-ins? • Should I host it during the day or in the evening? • When should I start promoting?
Harnessing the power of social media • building an audience • is your community really on these platforms? • does your presenter have an online following that may attract a new audience?
Author Events • How to choose authors • Formats for author events • Outreach to niche groups • What about self-published, local authors?
