July! Its a great time to plan for October Library Programs
If you don't put together a yearly programming schedule ( recommended), most library programs benefit from at the very least a 3 month planning schedule.
October is National Cookie month. Why not try a “build a better cookie” program demonstrating library holdings and showing recipe sites from a variety of angles. If you want to make it sweeter, run a cookie contest judged by a local celeb complete with a bibliography handout for the event.
October is also dental hygiene month. Work with the local version of the American Dental association to put together a great program on the best possible smile. If the ADA doesn’t have enough freebies, contact larger companies of toothbrushes, floss and dental products so you can have some things to handout for the event. “Brush up on brushing” “Ten Tips To A Better Smile”
It is also National Medical Librarians Month. Contact a local medical librarian and ask her/him to come in and talk about good, useful and safe online medical information sites. This is a win win program where the medical librarian gets to give her/his institution a human face and you get a program from someone who knows the topic well.
