Dr. Mary Grace Flaherty has a fantastic knack for simplifying the many tasks involved in developing library events. And by setting these tasks, for her readers, within the context of community needs, Mary Grace ensures that library events are effective and deliver value!--Annie Norman, Ed.D., state librarian of Delaware, Delaware Division of Libraries Emphasizing community engagement and responsiveness to funders, library users, and other stakeholders, this book powerfully connects programming to organizational mission and long-term goals. Practical information and tools on planning, assessment and reporting demonstrate how to strengthen this connection, giving librarians the confidence to think big and courageously about programming.--Joy Worland, state library consultant, Continuing Education and Small and Rural Libraries, Vermont Department of Libraries This practical guide to library programming offers solid structures and sound advice, from planning and publicizing to fundraising and evaluation, that will be useful to new and experienced librarians alike. Flaherty's pragmatic approach includes real-life examples from a variety of sizes and types of libraries, and discusses pivoting to virtual programs and considerations of sustainability. Carefully curated resources add to the valuable information and inspiration that will lead librarians to be responsive to their communities and deliberate and intentional in their program choices.--Starr LaTronica, library director, Brooks Memorial Library, Brattleboro, Vermont
