Welcome to Season Ten of Linking Our Libraries! We are so happy to have you join us again! This is the Central Minnesota Libraries Exchange, and our members are all types of libraries and their staff. It’s so good to have you here also. In this podcast, we talk about the skills library staff need to be successful and to help them to serve their communities.

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 this week’s show notes right here!

This week, to wrap up the series, we are looking at a potpourri of different kinds of programs. As has been true all season, there probably isn’t anything too wild and radical here – just suggestions for things to try. Once you see that other people have tried some different kinds of programs, you may be more inspired to do the same! Your library needs programs – they can be a great way to fulfill your main mission: connecting your community with information, ideas, and entertainment.

One request: put these cool programs up on your library’s website! Facebook is a handy tool – but for people who don’t have accounts, we can’t see library information. And there are so many libraries, doing great things – but if it’s not recorded somewhere, it just gets lost. Share your good stuff with the rest of the profession, so we can celebrate with you, as well as adapting your programs for our own libraries!
