Libraries can successfully create programs with adult appeal!
Children's programming has been a mainstay service for public libraries
for decades.  Teen programming has come into its own, especially in the
last decade.  But one of the most elusive audiences to attract when it
comes to programming is adults.  Public libraries in Kentucky are
focusing their attention on improving their adult programming now.  

      Now you will have a chance to share what works and what doesn't
work in adult programming with "Programming for a Tough
Audience...Adults."  The discussion will focus on the specifics of
programming for adults.  Participants will discuss creating programs
with adult appeal, scheduling them, and specific examples of adult
programs.  Each participant will be asked to share an idea for a
program, presenter, craft, etc.  This can be a description of a series
of programs, demonstration of a craft, the conduct of a book club, or
other creative activity.  This is the perfect opportunity to discover
what other libraries have done to create programs that bring adults to
the library.  

      There are two dates and locations for this program.  Both will be
from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

            Wednesday, November 7th              Boyd County Public
Library, Ashland

            Friday, November 9th                        Perry County
Public Library, Hazard                                               

      As the ideas shared in each location will be different,
participants may receive credit for attending both.
