Oktoberfest at the Library
by Anna Merritt 08 May '24

08 May '24

Hello All, Thinking about fall... Has anyone ever hosted an Oktoberfest-like program at their library? I am thinking about how to incorporate the beer aspect in a reasonable and appropriate manner. I am hoping to get a local brewery to bring samples so that the quantity of beer can be controlled. Also, other ideas of activities- games, trivia, German music, etc. This would be an afterhours, registration-based program for adults over 21. Any suggestions or feedback from those with experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Anna Merritt (she/her) Assistant Director / Interloan Specialist Richland Community Library 8951 Park Street Richland, MI 49083 (269) 629-9085 ZV283 https://www.richlandlibrary.org/ -- This message has been scanned by E.F.A.

Growing library garden programs<https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/growing-library-garden-program…>: Library gardens offer a great way for community members to come together to learn, grow, and contribute toward a healthy, balanced environment.

Public libraries have a critical opportunity to support the information needs of patrons dealing with and impacted by substance misuse. Related programming and services are deeply connected to addressing health equity, and they help libraries link community members to critical information that can improve their lives and the lives of loved ones. WebJunction has released the “Opioid Crisis Support Kit for Public Libraries” to help library staff assess their strengths and capacity, identify key local partners with whom to collaborate or coordinate, and plan and implement programming and services that contribute to addressing the opioid crisis.

The project aims to identify the range of policies and procedures which govern cardholder access as well as the rationale used for establishing these policies. Research findings have been summarized in a report made available to the library field beginning spring 2024. Join us for a discussion about the inspiration for this study, how the research was conducted, and key findings and takeaways using data from more than 1,800 public libraries across the United States.
