[Publib] Programs by area businesses

[Ann Brown]

At my former library we had people from Lowe's and Home Depot come to do
programs on basic home repairs, such as replacing a faucet.  I'm pretty
sure the programs didn't cost the library anything, (except some coffee
and cookies), but I don't think they were very well attended.

I sent this last week but only received one response so I thought I
would try again..

 

At Computers in Library someone talked about having area businesses come
into the library and do training.  One example was Best Buy doing
training on mp3 players and other "gadgets."  I thought I read somewhere
(not sure if it was here) about Home Depot and Lowe's going into a
libraries and offering different programs.  We don't have a Best Buy in
our county - although there is one in a neighboring county - so I was
curious if other libraries did this.  And if so, what companies have
offered this type of thing.  I promise to summarize and share the
responses I get.

 

Thanks for your help,
