Free programming resource from ALA’s Public Programs Office

From American Libraries Direct, The e-newsletter of the American Library Association, January 21, 2009:


ALA’s Public Programs Office is offering a new online resource to assist libraries of all types and sizes in creating cultural and community programs. The Programming Librarian website includes a resource library, live learning opportunities, and a blog to keep librarians informed of upcoming opportunities and provide inspiration for new library programs. As the site continues to develop, users will find more resources, ideas, and opportunities to network with peers and programming experts....



Check out the Programming Librarian Blog for ideas, links to other online resources, and downloadable program guides.
