Happy Saturday!

We have our in-person location: White Lake Township Library, 11005 Elizabeth Lake Rd, White Lake, MI 48386. Thank you very much to EmmaLee for volunteering her library and to White Lake Township Library for hosting.

I will send periodic reminders about filling out this Google Form (survey) for the event over the next month. Keep an eye out for the registration link from TLN sometime in April!

Thank you for helping us organize this program planning workshop. Yes, there will be a Google Sheet for everyone who attends to refer to so they don't have to take extensive notes. This event depends on attendee participation.

Any library staff who are responsible for programming for adults are welcome from any library consortium. This event will be virtual with an in-person option at White Lake (you can always bring your laptop to White Lake to be in person and online too).

Google Form to fill out with your programs is in the original email sent (below). I'm also happy to answer any questions at any time.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi all,

I am planning an informal workshop for Library staff and librarians who do programming specifically for Adults.
It will be held virtually on Zoom using TLN's Zoom. If you are in a TLN library and are interested in an in-person option, please let me know as soon as possible so we can get that set up (if anyone is willing to volunteer their library, please let me know).
This workshop will be free and registration will be hosted by The Library Network (TLN), our area's consortium, so keep an eye out for the registration form from them sometime in April.
If you are not a part of TLN, please feel welcome to share this email within your library consortium.
I am sharing this Google Form to collect presenter/performer info, program recommendations, and ideas from you to help organize/structure the workshop and cut down on duplicate suggestions.
Please share information by Monday, May 5th.
This workshop will heavily rely upon you voluntarily sharing what you've done at your library! There may also be a few ideas shared that may not be common or well-known in our area.
You are also able to share ideas anonymously through the Form if you prefer.
FYI**A program planning resource of note is Brandon Township Library's No Reservation Recommendations website.
A loose schedule of sorts will be as follows:
10 - 11 AM - Program sharing.
11:15 AM - 12 PM - Program sharing.
12:15 - 1 PM - We *may* not need this hour but if we do, it'll be open discussion, questions, and answers to and from the group.
