Programming Sample Programming Policy

All programs being considered for Jefferson County Public Library should meet the following criteria to ensure quality:

• Offers information best transmitted in groups.
• Promotes appreciation of books and reading.
• Introduces a range of library services.
• Enhances the use of the library's collection.
• Improves access to information for targeted audiences.
• Encourages positive community cooperation and support.

In addition to the above criteria, we will consider attendance, appropriateness of subject to the audience, circulation in subject area of the program, and comments from the public and library staff in determining whether or not the program was worthwhile.

Branch representatives to the Programming Committee should discuss with their own Branch Manger parameters for program planning within the branch and consult the Branch Program Goals. These goals might include space and time constraints, impact on other library services including Graphics, and special interests of the branch.
