Summer Reading Programs for Adults

If you’re not planning to offer an Adult Summer Reading Program, WHY NOT? Adults are people, too, and having a Summer Reading Program is a great way to show them your library cares. Did you know participants in Adult Summer Reading Programs:

• Have families who also participate?
• Are looking for ways to stay active and involved?
• Become library advocates?
• VOTE for Library funding?

Now that you know why you should have a program, join Santa Clara City Library Librarian, Morgan Pershing and Simi Valley Public Library Director, Heather Cousin, as they share the nuts and bolts of creating a successful Adult Summer Reading Program at your library. During the webinar, Morgan and Heather will discuss:

• How to start a program for first timers, including how to encourage your administrators and fellow staff to support your effort
• How to enhance your existing program
• How to develop affordable programming
• How to target adults

This webinar will be of interest to Adult Services Librarians and anyone curious about Adult Summer Reading Programs.
