Libraries are always looking for new ways to engage with their patrons, and well-planned programming is one way to accomplish this goal.

It can also be seen in advertising, social media, and the careful planning and execution of programs that ensure high quality engagement and participation.

This book provides in-depth practical advice and examples of public and academic library programming activities.

Included in this volume are methods for identifying target audiences, activities and ways to find and generate even more ideas, tools for assessment and budgeting, and tips on planning programs from inception to execution.
