Mark your calendars for the Western Massachusetts Library
Advocates spring program: a panel presentation on programming in the
contemporary library. Three amazing
librarians will share their experiences programming in the modern library.
Libraries across the Commonwealth offer programs that
enrich, inspire and educate their patrons. Programs offer experiences for
patrons that reach beyond libraries’ traditional services. Through programming
we engage our patrons in new and interesting ways, offering information and
skills. Programs create opportunities to learn, grow, meet new people, and have
fun.

Esmé Green is currently the director of the Goodnow Library
in Sudbury where she tries to spend as much time being awesome as possible. On
the weekends, she can be found at the Shutesbury Farmer’s Market buying books
from the Friends of the MN Spear Library.
Clayton Cheever is currently the Assistant Director at the
Thomas Crane Public Library in Quincy where planning programs for adults is one
of his many responsibilities. In previously jobs he has planned programs for
teens and served on numerous boards of non-profit activist organizations.
Bernadette Rivard is the Director of the Bellingham Public
Library where she helps develop creative programs for everyone from babies to
grown-ups.
Our panel of experienced librarians will share their
experiences with creating dynamic programming. We'll hear fresh, innovative
ideas for engaging patrons and learn about programming successes and maybe even
some flops. Attendees will have the chance to ask questions and will leave with
ideas and inspiration for new programs to offer in their own libraries.
Join us April 14, 2015, at 10 a.m. at the Lee Library, 100
Main Street, Lee MA. For the purposes of
planning enough refreshments, registration would be appreciated. Register Here.
