Portable Programs with Pizzazz
Jody Olivieri Homer Township Public Library, Homer Glen, IL
Programming on a Bookmobile
Renaissance Faire
Who has the time or room?
Give your patrons a “value added” experience at your bookmobile stops and make their visits memorable.
Provide opportunities to interact with your patrons on a unique, personal level.
When the imagination is stimulated it will spark renewed or rejuvenated interest for reading and books.
Improve patron retention: make your bookmobile stops educational, entertaining, welcoming and fun.
Numbers speak: each program and every participant add quantifiable statistics to support your bookmobile department’s relevance.
