Webinar date and time: Thursday, July 16, 2020 / 10:00 am to 11:00 am, Eastern


The book club that only has two regularly attending patrons.Your former colleague’s passion project that somehow landed in your lap (shhhh – you don’t really know anything about the topic). You know the programs we mean; the ones that took hours of staff time to prepare that just can’t find traction, or have lost their appeal along the way. Join us to discuss language, best practices, and experiences with bringing programs to an end.

 

Alexandra Skinner is the Manager of Adult Services at Oak Park Public Library. She has successfully terminated off-site book groups, pop culture clubs, and science fairs. She never leaves the house or office without her water-bottle and knitting in her bag. She enjoys learning new public transportation systems when she travels, as well as narrative nonfiction books, binge-worthy television, and podcasts of all sorts.  

 

Katy Hite is the Adult Services Supervisor at the Orange Branch of the Delaware County District Library in Ohio. At her previous position, she successfully terminated programs including an all ages poetry competition and a Downton Abbey tea party. Katy is a co-founder of Make It @ Your Library and a member of the Ohio Library Council. Her former experience includes serving as Distance Learning Librarian at Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois, an Adult Services Librarian at Worthington Public Libraries and Emerging Technologies Librarian at Upper Arlington Public Library, both in Central Ohio.
