Welcome to Whose Library Is It Anyway, a place where the programs are tons of fun and the space doesn't matter!
But, in all seriousness, have you ever considered offering an improv program at your library? YOU SHOULD!
In a recent article in School Library Journal, Carli Spina shares some helpful hints and tips on launching just such a program. Improvisation comedy is a fantastic way to encourage collaboration, communication, and embracing the mindset of "yes, and..." Even better? An improv program---much like improv itself--is incredibly flexible and lends itself to institutions of all sizes and budgets.
No money for props? No problem! Just have your kiddos imagine them.
Limited space? If you have space enough for your participants to stand in a circle, you have more than enough room to offer an improv program!
Now, you may be thinking that you need a theater background to offer an improv program, but that's just not true! Warm ups, games, and more are readily available on the internet.
One thing to note: this is DEFINITELY an interactive program for both the participants AND the librarian. Get ready to get involved and embrace your silly!
