I am working with Jenine to develop some new information literacy-oriented programs. These programs are fairly targeted and I would like to start collecting names and emails of interested patrons so we can send them an evite when the time comes. I have left two sheets on the Ref Desk for people to leave their contact info. One is for those interested in nonprofits & grantwriting, the other is for folks who would like to practice their English or Spanish in an informal discussion group session.
We are hoping to host a Nonprofit Networking breakfast sometime in February. This event will take place before the library opens and will feature a speaker (possibly someone from the Telluride Foundation), a demonstration of our eResources dealing with nonprofits & grantwriting, and a tour of our snazzed up Nonprofit Section.
The language idea is to host a weekly informal discussion group where English and Spanish speakers can get together to practice both languages. We are planning to hold this series down in Youth Services, so kids are welcome to participate or play while the grown-ups converse. We'll have snacks and there will be a facilitator there to get the conversation started. We're looking to mid-late afternoons on a weekly drop-in basis starting in March.
Please encourage anyone interested in materials or resources related to either of these programs to sign up so I can contact them with details when we have it all hammered out.
Thanks!
Sarah
