Libraries around the country put on fantastic adult<br />

programs for their patrons, but often these<br />

programs are driven by the performer or speaker,<br />

<strong>and</strong> connections made to the library’s collection<br />

are frequently an afterthought or altogether<br />

nonexistent. During this session we’ll discuss<br />

content <strong>and</strong> implementation tips for<br />

collection-centered programs, including both<br />

traditional events like book discussion groups<br />

creative programming opportunities such as adult<br />

storytimes, summer reading programs, mock book<br />

awards, battle of the book competitions, genre<br />

studies, <strong>and</strong> seasonal previews of new books.<br />

Speakers: Vivienne Beckett, Scenic Regional<br />

Library, Assistant Director/Adult Services Librarian;<br />

Michelle BoisvenueFox, Kent District Library, Branch<br />

Manager; Cynthia Dudenhoffer, Central Methodist<br />
