Youth and Family programming at the Kaiserslautern Libraries
US Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
Kaiserslautern, Germany
2008-2012
Start to Finish Programs
Based on discussion with patrons, evaluating community needs and collaborating
with other libraries and staff, I designed and executed programs for all ages at the
library. This presentation focuses on my youth and family programming. My various
duties at the library allowed me to be directly involved with all steps in the
programming process to include:
• Community interaction to discover needs
• Program creation and design
• Planning to include purchasing of materials
• Promoting programs through marketing and in-house displays
• Executing program
• Preparing notes for future instances of program
Some important strategies that I have learned along the way:
• Plan ahead and stay organized
• Everyone has great ideas – get input from co-workers
• Keep materials in a box that can be used the next time you do the program
• Share your programs!
