Amy K. Smith, Red Hook (NY) Public Library
Thursday, February 9, 1-2 pm
Does program planning feel like Groundhog Day every month? Do you find yourself repeating programs that have reliable attendance, but wonder if there's another way to bring people through the door? In this interactive webinar, Amy Smith presents ways to invigorate your calendar using a holistic approach to librarianship. With examples from several public libraries' missions, she'll show us how the lofty goals we put on our websites can become concrete intentions for public programs with implications for collection development and community engagement. Taking a broader view of the ways in which programs, collections and users overlap will turn your programs into powerful ways to build relationships with your library's regulars and new users alike.
Amy K Smith is the Head of Programs & Youth Services at Red Hook Public Library in New York's Hudson River Valley. Recipient of NYLA's 2019 Moshier/ Wynkoop Award for Distinguished Librarianship and Outstanding Efforts in Community Service, Smith is easy to find at work - just listen for the kids, that's where she'll be.
This webinar will be recorded and captioned. It will provide one contact hour for public library directors needing certification.
