Summer Arts Display Ideas
Summer can be quite eventful and uneventful at the same time. Patrons can be away on vacation or perhaps enjoying a staycation in town.
It's a wonderful time to offer arts programming in the library or suggestions for future trips to explore on their own.

Think Ahead: Fall 2024
Create Relevant Arts Programming and Promote Your Collection according to the Time of the Year. September marks the end of the summer and the beginning of Fall. Fall is officially the opening of the performing arts season that includes Classical Music, Opera and Broadway. Fall art exhibits also open across the United States marking a new visual art season. Oftentimes, I choose programming that reflects what's opening in the local area and the time of the year.
