Adult programming can take different forms. Decide what your community is interested in or what they want to experience or learn. Is there someone in your community that is willing to speak about their special interests or hobbies? Consider inviting local businesses or banks to do a program. Libraries are learning facilities that help our communities enjoy lifelong learning programs. By providing art programs, multigenerational programs, book clubs, knitting groups, computer classes, quilting groups, adult coloring clubs, and other services, you are enhancing your community.
