[Publib] Adult library programming

[Sue Kamm]

Unfortunately, adult program can't be "one size fits all," either in scheduling or content.  Working people probably can't attend a daytme program, unless you hold it at lunchtime and suggest people bring their lunch.  

Daytme programs may work best for retired people, especially if potential crime is a problem.  

Evening and/or weekend programs may attract working adults.  Of couse, some may not attend because their children are too young for a storytime or crafts program offered by your chldren's staff, and don't want or can't afford to hire a sitter.

Greetings All,
I have recently been put in charge of adult programming at my public library. While trying to get events set up, I have run across a question. I am trying to figure out what time of day to offer these programs. I know certain audiences will have a preference. But is there a better “all round” time to offer programs for adults to serve a larger population? If anyone has any suggestions or input, I will gladly hear it.
 
These programs would include current issues as well as author visits. 
 
Thanks so much for your time and thoughts,
Patti
