This season we are talking about library programs – giving you some ideas about different ideas you can try in your own library. It is always good to share ideas across libraries, and we are all better! Each week we will look at a different theme of programs.

Check out our show notes here, to get all the links and information.

This week we are shaking off the winter blah feelings, and planning to get outside for a while! Everyone is tired of being cooped up, and we need to think through some ideas to help you and your patrons to get outside and to get moving.

We talk about going outside and doing fun things out there pretty often. You might call it exercise; but it’s fine to think about it as just moving around and having fun. No need to get formal with your programming, unless you really want to. The main point to most programming is to just have fun, and to give your patrons an opportunity to enjoy themselves.

We have a whole podcast series about our Minnesota state parks. Each short episode has a fact about a park, then we suggest six books to go along with that fact. You can listen to the episodes as you trudge around the state parks, or just enjoy listening to books and facts.
