Book Clubs, Pubs, and Grub share best practices on co-branding programs within your community. We discuss the lessons learned through neighborhood and community outreach programs. Examples include - bar and coffee shop-based book clubs, BAM (Books and More - speed round book club during lunch at the local school), Park Popups (storytimes with activities and crafts), and full literary celebrations at locally owned brewpubs. We share lessons on how to duplicate our successes and circumvent possible roadblocks. At the completion of this session, participants will be able to
- Recognize community partners, identify commonalities, and create co-branded programming.
- Utilize best practices to support and empower diverse community partners to ensure mutual success.
- Incorporate proven outreach techniques to bring library programs into the community.
