[Publib] adult programming: what's your favorite?

[jsanderson at nngov.com]

One of the most rewarding I ever did was "Cambodian Court and Folk Dance". 
This was several years ago at Richmond Public Library, VA.
Our city was a refugee resettlement area for Cambodians fleeing the Khmer
Rouge government.  Working with the local resettlement director ( a former
Secretary of State in Cambodia) we presented the dance troupe he had helped
create as a means of keeping the refugees in touch with their heritage. 
Over 300 people attended.  Cambodians, sponsoring famalies and general
public enjoyed a unique presentation, the refugees felt a sense of
acceptance by being part of a library program.  It was also a lot of fun
and gave the library contacts who helped us better serve this segment of
the community.  There was no expense involved.
