public library programming for women

2009-09-22T19:26:35Z

For an article on public library programming for women, Kay Cassell and
Kathleen Weibel would like to hear about any public library programming you do
with women as the intended audience or on topics primarily related to women.
They are especially interested in partnerships with other organizations and in
programs related to National Women's History Month. Cassell and Weibel recently
wrote an article on this topic for Library Trends 56.2 (2007) titled "Public
Library Response to Women and Their Changing Roles Revisited"
(http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/library_trends/v056/56.2cassell.html) This
article will be a more popular "how-to-do it" piece.

If you have information to share email either Kay (KCASSELL@nyc.rr.com) or
Kathleen (kweibel2@gmail.com) directly; please do not reply to the list.

I have just joined WebJunction RI and am interested in our collective ideas about Adult Programming. Last year we did a Book Bingo summer reading program for adults and it worked out well. I think we'll do it again this year, with some modifications. I would like to look at the manual mentioned in the previous post, if it's available.

Summer Reading for Adults

2009-02-12T21:37:11Z

Posted on behalf of Susan Lepore:

Four names were on the list of libraries that are considering or doing an adult summer program from the Feb. 2 meeting. If you put your library on the list, please share the names with them. Cynthia Trainer, Warwick, Joyce May, East Providence, Marian Kendricks, Tiverton, and Diane Dexter, Lincoln. Joyce May is the only person listed as having done a program in the past. I have sent an adult summer program manual to each of them.
