About this item

This book offers 101 passive programming ideas that are extendable, adaptable, customizable, and above all, stealable -- so your passive programming never runs dry.Passive programming is a cheap, quick, fun way to make all library customers feel like part of the community. It can support reading initiatives, foster family engagement, encourage visit frequency, and coax interaction out of library lurkers -- while barely making a dent in your programming budget. Passive programming can be targeted at children, adults, seniors, or teens; used to augment existing programs; and executed in places where staff-led programming can't reach. It can be light-footed and spontaneous, easily deployed to reflect and respond to current news, media, library events, even the weather.
