Good Programs Start Small: Embrace the Ripple Effect!

Feeling disheartened by program attendance?  

In a recent post on Programming Librarian, entitled Good Programs Start Small: Attendance Doesn't Equal Success, Montour Falls Library, in rural Schuyler County, New York and Wright Memorial Public Library in Oakwood, Ohio share their experiences with programs that may not have seen a large number of attendees, but made a significant impact in their communities nonetheless.

"At both libraries, efforts that started small have created a ripple effect as community awareness of the library’s efforts grows."

To quote Anne Hamland, library rockstar and the person to thank for sharing both the article and the following nugget of motivation, "Success is NOT attendance. Success is whole-person librarianship."
