[Publib] travel programs

[Amanda Brewer]

I hosted a similar program this past February. In order to ensure the library wasn't a PR vehicle for one travel agent, I invited a couple additional local travel agents and made it more of a panel. It ended up working great because each travel agent specialized in a different area of travel. (one was great with Australia and New Zealand, another was a cruise expert, another spoke about travel trends, another gave tips on cutting costs when travelling.) 
 
All in all, it went well! Each agent agreed to come back and do another round at a later date.
 
Good luck with your program!

I have a local travel agent who wants to host free travel programs at the library. Her main focus is cruise vacations. Does anyone have these kinds of programs at their library? If so, what are the most popular topics/titles? Do you allow the travel agent to pass out information about their agency? 
 
I have explained that the travel agent cannot sell anything at the library.
