Pat Wishard and I attended a seminar at the Kent County Library System offering suggestions on new programming that could be considered for our library system. The presenter was from Pennsylvania and represented a system that was much larger than that of Washington County. Though the system was larger, it faced the same challenges as we face in programming: Getting the community engaged, keeping programming interesting and varied, and reaching the community with marketing.
Several fundraising programs were outlined. Then the presenter explained what publicity worked with the programs, and which just didn't quite hit the mark and why.
The presenter was quite enthusiastic, positive, and informative.
While there we met other library system representatives that were involved in Gala events. They were very interested in talking to us about our experiences in producing Galas as their premier event was scheduled for January, 2014.
If this seminar was offered again, I would like to attend.
