Hello all!
I was recently approached to
offer my services as a Story Time presenter as a biddable item for a
local "Spring Fling" fundraiser. My first instinct was, "I can easily
put together a bespoke story time for 5-10 kiddos. Offering literacy
services as part of a fundraiser, what a great idea!" but then the
reality of the logistics and the idea of individuals paying for a
private library/librarian experience set in.
Has anyone had a similar experience? What did you, your library or your friends group do?
Any suggestions for a literacy focused, biddable experience or item?
I
don't feel comfortable offering "private" story time services outside
of the library setting, and would never want to go to an individual's
residence to host a story time. The idea of "selling" a story time or
even allowing someone to pick a theme for a program that would be open
to the public doesn't sit right (if it is even legal) .
