Program Idea - Big Event - Woodstock Witness: The 1969 Woodstock Festival
Program: Woodstock Witness: The 1969 Woodstock Festival
Presenter: Barry Z. Levine
Organization: Brunswick Institute
Description:
As the official still photographer of Woodstock, the Academy Award-winning documentary, Barry Z Levine has a treasure trove of more than 300 color photographs, a host of vivid memories, and a wealth of anecdotes to share with Boomer audiences. In an exciting and lively presentation incorporating his exclusive photographs, stills, audio and video clips, in a presentation that can be tailored to fit a variety of time slots, Barry sets the stage for Woodstock, locating the events of the decade leading up to the Festival, and utilizing photos and personal experiences, recounts his interactions with the producers, participants, film crew, and performers.
Following Woodstock, Barry Z Levine moved to Holland where he directed an alternative music radio program. He has lived in Los Angeles, Montreal, New York City and in the Hudson Valley, and has been a free-lance writer/producer for clients in the record and film industries. He had his own video production studio in New York City for many years, and has extensive experience in producing video for theatrical presentations.
His photographs of Jimi Hendrix from Woodstock are in an international traveling exhibition of fine art prints that have been on display in museums and galleries in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Santa Fe, and Beverly Hills. His photographs of Woodstock have been featured in the books “Woodstock Remembered” and “Woodstock 1969: The First Festival”, and have been included in Time, People, Life, Cosmopolitan, Vanity Fair, MoJo, and numerous international periodicals and newspapers.
“The Woodstock Story Book”, a new book of photographs and text, is slated for publication Winter, 2008, and his work will be included in several other new books, videos, and CD sets which will be published to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Woodstock Festival, August 2009. Interest in Woodstock is being fanned by a new Ang Lee movie, “Taking Woodstock”, several new books, and records and videos.
Length of Program: 1 to 2 hours
Presenter's Requirements: Projector (capable of taking input from MacBook) and screen, Table of Displaying Materials
Fee: Willing to work with our budget, or do subsequent libraries for 1 cost. I think he's going to be looking for at least $500 though.
Libraries willing to travel to: All
Notes: I spoke with Barry on the phone this week, and he sounds really down to earth. He's willing to work with our budget constraints, and I'm thinking we could create a fairly decent event out of his presentation.
I think having 2 or 3 libraries that are close together, teaming up and funding 1 event would work really well. We can have Barry come and present, and do a small mixer afterwards with snacks and drinks, where Barry can chat with the attendees one on one.
We could also charge a small fee to offset the cost.
I really think people could view this as an event they'd be willing to pay for.
We can also look into having a community business sponsor the event if need be.

PALA - Young Adult Programming Session
This week was PALA, and I was able to attend a great session on Young Adult Programming.
Gretchen S. Ipock from Sellers Library in Upper Darby, PA did a wonderful job of spelling out incredibly easy ways to organize events for young adults!
I am attaching a link to her handouts, because it is a phenomenal resource.
She is more than willing to share any of her ideas, and she is open to answering any questions you ask her!
The very last page of her handout is 78 things that Gretchen has planned, and you can too!
Handout
My favorite tip from her presentation was how to structure thematic parties:
Gretchen’s secret thematic program structure:
1. Introduction/Whole Group Activity
2. Media Clip(s)
3. Activity/Craft/Game
4. Media Clip(s)
5. Activity/Craft/Game
6. Theme Food
7. Media Clips(s)
8. Wrap-Up and Booktalk
Every themed event she holds uses this format. Using small media clips (i.e. scenes from movies, tv shows, or youtube videos) helps entertain the young adults while you set up for the next activity/craft/game portion of the event.
The students always have something to do, and you have a set schedule that helps you maintain control of the event and makes it go incredibly quickly!

GLLS 2008 - Now it's Grandma's Turn to Wii
This session was presented by Allan M. Kleiman from Old Bridge Public Library in Old Bridge, NJ!
Allan talked about how his library successfully implemented a Wii gaming series in his library for senior citizens.
Using the library's Teen Advisory Board as mentors, the library created a series of sessions for senior citizens to come and learn how to use controllers, play basic games, such as Wii Sports, and created a non-threatening, fun-filled environment for seniors to come and learn some new technology!
The library created 3 learning sessions prior to the actual gaming series, to train Teen Volunteers on how to teach senior citizens to use the Wii. They did things like, role play how they would teach their grandparent's to use the Wii. stressed the importance of going slow and being patient, and prepared the teens for a number of different learning scenarios!
When the gaming series started, teens taught the seniors for 1 hour, and than were "rewarded" with 2 hours of open-play after the event!
This way, kids felt like they weren't just working and leaving, and seniors had a chance to see some of the crazy games that they could eventually play!
By the end of the gaming series, seniors were able to play many Wii sport games, and actually gave Guitar Hero a try!
As this program has continued, Allan said that the seniors are now teaching each other, and the library is looking forward to starting a Wii League that will compete against local assisted living facilities in the area!
Keys to success for this event were:
-Pre-training for teens, as well as hand picking teens that were enthusiastic!
-Having multiple gaming nights instead of just one night. Seniors need more than one session to learn everything and get to a point of playing. They like to know they have a chance at retaining what they learn by playing more than once!
-Plenty of Beverages! Staying hydrated is really important while playing such active games!
-Not making a competition. Allan found that the majority of seniors just wanted to play and support one another. The idea of gaming and competition isn't a strong pull for seniors. Stick to Open-Gaming forums in the beginning!
I LOVE this idea! How great would it be to create an inter-generational event at your library, using the teens you already have!

2008 Gaming, Learning, and Libraries Symposium
This past week, I attended the 2008 GLLS in Chicago, IL.
It was a wonderful 3-day Symposium on how libraries can successfully implement gaming events as well as circulating gaming materials in their libraries.
I left with a ton of new ideas and lots of wonderful resources, including a few books that I've purchased or received for everyone to use!
Gaming in Academic Libraries: Collections, Marketing, and Information Literacy - Amy Harris and Scott E. Rice
Teen Girls and Technology: What's the Problem, What's the solution? - Lesley Farmer
Gamers... in the LIBRARY?! - Eli Neiburger
Library Technology Reports: Gaming and Libraries Updates: Broadening the Intersections - Jenny Levine
I also scored the Starter Edition of Dungeons & Dragons, 4th edition and a Starter Edition of Magic, the Gathering. If anyone would like to start a Role Playing Gaming Group in their library, this is a great way to see what it's all about.
Because of all the information that I want to relay to everyone, I will be posting a series of Symposium Themed blogs. This way, i can hopefully break down the info into bite sized pieces that you will actually want to read, instead of the novel that I would inevitably write!
Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have!

Chester County Reads 2009
Hello all,
As hopefully everyone knows by now, the Chester County Reads program has been postponed to 2009.
Diane Gring who has done an awesome job of planning this event in past years, has passed the torch along to me.
I am in the process of looking at what programs were set up already, and which ones we can still follow through with for the 2009 event.
The programming portion of Chester County Reads will begin in March and will continue through May.
I am meeting with Chester County Parks and Recreation in the coming weeks to get the ball rolling.
They have asked for potential dates and times for each library, so they can get an idea of what schedules they are working with.
I understand that not everyone has scheduled their programs for that late into 2009. But having an idea of how many evening or afternoon programs to plan would be helpful.

Program Idea - Get Organized Month - Presented by NAPO-GPC
Program: Get Organized Month - Presented by NAPO-GPC
Presenters: Various presenters from the National Association of Professional Organizers, Greater Philadelphia Chapter
Organization: NAPO-GPC
Description: The Greater Philadelphia of the National Association of Professional Organizers is the resourcein our area for organizing professionals.
Our members are dedicated to providing organizing services, advice, solutions, and products to clients in coroprate, small business, home office and residential settings. we are specialists in helping our clients to simplify, balance and structure their environment, serving Eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Central & Southern New Jersey.
The GO (get organized) Month program offered here will offer solitions for clutter and paper management to help program attendees keep their New Year's resolution. The program may vary somewhat between presenters, but will offer a core of common concepts that participants can immediately apply to their own situation.
Length: 1 hour + q&a
Preferred Maximum Audience size: n/a
Fee: $100
Presenter's Requirements: Projector & Screen, Table for materials display. Some may request a laptop or computer to access their PowerPoints, but most should have their own.

Which libraries will they present at: ALL!
Program Note: I contacted a member of the NAPO to do a program on "The First Steps to Getting Organized" to present in conjunction with a "New Year's Resolution" themed program series for January.
This has quickly turned into a bit of a bigger fish, because the actual contact turned my information over the the Marketing Director for the Greater Philadelphia Chapter. She has offered to create a basic program, and work with many different organizers, so that we can provide this program at a minimal cost to any library in Chester County.
If you are unable to afford the entire fee, but would like to have a "New Year's Resolution" program at your library, let me know what you can offer and we'll find the rest.
I have talked in depth with NAPO and they have a clear understanding that this will be a Library geared program and not a NAPO geared program (despite their very NAPO friendly program description)

Welcome to the CCLS Programming Blog!
Hello to everyone out there in Library Land!
If you have happened upon this blog, it is because you are interested in finding new and exciting programs for adults and teens!

Please check back often for new contacts and suggestions!
