Sharing Library Ideas - Back after a summer break
by natalie bazan 30 Jul '13

30 Jul '13

Hello Everyone! I am back to improving and expanding the Sharing Library Ideas website which means that I'm looking for your ideas. Please send me: your summer programs, ideas for fall programs, and Holiday programs (Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas!). For those of you who don't know, the Sharing Library Ideas PLINKIT site is dedicated to posting the ideas that you send me (and making sure that you get credit for them) so that other libraries have a centralized place that they can refer to when they need something new. I love to include as many details about your programs as possible along with any handouts that you want to send. Thank you all for contributing! Natalie Bazan MA, MLIS Library Director Hopkins District Library 118 E. Main St. Hopkins, MI 49328 269-793-7516 http://hopkins.llcoop.org http://sharing.michlibrary.org
