Engage patrons while saving your budget by using free and low-cost resources. This timely tutorial provides inspiration for showstopping library programs for all audiences, from seniors to children, along with makerspace and passive programming resources.
Tools and materials range from free resources to teach financial responsibility to toddlers to STEM lesson plans from NASA to resources to host an Earth Day event incorporating a ‘free trees for kids’ program.
