more 2010 programs

  

Ports of Calls was a very engaging and picturesque presentation.  This contact was the husband of one of our Friends of the Library Bookstore volunteers.  Although there wasn't a huge crowd, those who did attend are probably enjoying their cruises about now.

About money, everyone needs to know about it.  This is a relationship built with someone I met while taking a course at one of the colleges.  Totally free at the library!

2010 Local Author Programs

  

  

Local author programs are a hard sell at Tustin Library.  This was my second one and not too many came out to see, perhaps most in attendance were maybe 15.  Most of the authors were good in engaging with the audience's questions on how they were published or how they came up with the information.  What doesn't work is if the author reads over 10 minutes to try to sell the book. 

On a good note, one of the author's here continues to head the literary group, Independent Writers of Southern California.  In fact, it was an earlier candidate who came to one of our book groups to discuss his book who started the Southern California chapter of IWOSC and passed the baton to someone else.

Some 2010 programs

      

I had most fun designing the flyers.  Only one required my planning and execution while the other events were partnered with the community who were experts in their field.  For the past few years, it seems adult programming isn't too popular unless they're of entertainment value.  Plus, I don't have the time to engage with full energy.  Wouldn't that be something if the library were a mad house of adults piling into the programs??
