Event Description
Presenters will discuss their experience with programming for Millennials, including establishing a new program series, developing a brand, and marketing techniques. Attendees will learn about specific programs such as bar trivia, a book club for adults who like to read YA, and plenty of pop culture and nostalgia-themed programs that have specific appeal to the millennial demographic. Library staff will be empowered to create programming for patrons in their 20s and 30s in their own communities, and leave with ideas for specific programs they can implement on their own.
