This year New York joins the nation in America250, commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Find out what your colleagues have done (or plan on doing) to recognize and explore this historic milestone in their communities in shaping New York’s history at 2 PM Tuesday, April 28, at the next Adult Program Swap.
Has your library begun programming related to America250? Do you have some cool plans you’d like others to know about? The New York State Library is looking for a few intrepid souls to share their experience with programs that could be adapted by a library anywhere in New York for this session – please submit a proposal form to be considered.
Adult Program Swap is a virtual meet-up of Adult Programming Library staff to network and share ideas. The program will start with a short intro and then hear from a series of presenters who have volunteered to briefly share what has worked at their libraries. Following the presentations there will be an opportunity for Q and A.
All participants are asked to complete an adult programming template with an example of a popular program. The shared folder of programs is available to all participants.
The Adult Program Swap is a collaboration between the Upper Hudson, Southern Adirondack, Mohawk Valley, Clinton Essex Franklin library systems and the New York State Library.

This initiative is made possible by federal Library Service and Technology Act funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which enable the New York State Library to achieve excellence in public services to and through New York’s library systems and libraries.
