[Publib] Adult library programming

[Eisen, Elizabeth]

Hello Patti,

I've been involved with Adult Programming since 1992. It seems there is
no perfect time to schedule a program. It's best to think of your
targeted audience. For example, we hosted a program on Iwo Jima last
year. We scheduled it for late in the afternoon. Over 140 people
attended. The audience consisted of seniors and WWII veterans for the
most part. It's best to offer programs on a variety of days and
times...even on weekends. Good luck with your new position!

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
