Library of Virginia: Learning from Patrons when Creating Programs

Libraries can provide a variety of programs to communities. However, it can feel challenging to figure out what kinds of programs to offer, and how to know if patrons really like them. In this two-hour, online workshop with Dr. Maryfrances Porter, you will first have an opportunity to learn from each other about what has worked and been challenging in the past.  

 

You will then learn: 

  • Some strategies for surveying patrons about what kinds of programs they would enjoy 
  • How to know if the community is learning about your programs 
  • How to test out programs with small groups before offering them to everyone 
  • A sneak peek into the very basics of measuring engagement and satisfaction with the programs 

 

Please note that: 

  • This workshop will take place online.  
  • Please bring your experience to share and your curiosity for learning more. Our trainers work to create an interactive learning environment for all participants. For this reason, use of video is recommended where possible.  
  • We will be recording this workshop. Participants will receive a copy of the trainer's presentation and other relevant resources.
