Once you select a program, you'll get access to all the important details, from the marketing and planning to execution. They may even share files that you can download. You'll know exactly how much the program costs and how much time you'll need to put into it. Perfect for the busy librarian!
Share Your Own!
There is an online form you can fill out to submit your own programs. I love that they are crowding sourcing this because we all have fun ideas and great programs. The only way this website can be really successful is if we all use it and submit, so please consider doing both!Follow Their Blogs
They have many people blogging on the website about innovative programs, which you can filter by library type, topic, and age group. Learn what other people are doing in your field!Attend a Webinar
They also hold webinars about different types of programming. See what is coming up or check out their archives to see what you have missed.The 5minlib Challenge
So, today we have a challenge for you. Within the next seven days, what if we all submitted our best program? Just one program, any program, that you think might be successful at other libraries, too. If now is too crazy with Summer Reading, then put it on your calendar for the first week in September. It would so amazing if we all did it.Since, as they say:
Because all those
author talks,
storytimes,
computer classes,
community dialogues,
concerts,
makerspaces,
book clubs,
art exhibitions,
and ESL courses
don't plan
themselves.
Ain't that the truth?
(By the way, we love that quote, too!)
