Attracting younger adults to visit the library requires pushing beyond the boundaries of typical library programming. From Nerf in the library to campfires in the park, we'll tell the story of how we built an exciting year round calendar of adult programming. By exploring new ideas and adding non-traditional programs to our schedule we've gone from 40 programs in 2011 to over 110 programs in 2017. Why should adults have all the fun? Many of our programs can be tailored to audiences of all ages. We'll share what worked, what didn't, and give you the tools to steal our ideas and color outside the lines.
