We're trying to boost patron interest!
I'm working on a poster for "Grown-up storytime: Shoeless Joe Comes to Iowa", and finding the whole idea lacking. If we really want to encourage voting, tax-paying adults to think the library is a valuable addition to their lives, we need to branch out.
Nancy suggested "Porn and Alchohol night at the library" as a way of attracting adults. She also willfuly misunderstood the "Tiny Teddies" program. This met with some opposition. So, I'd like to respectfully suggest "Adult Storytime: Alan Rickman Reads Erotica at the Library" as just the enriching program we've been looking for. Sophisticated, enticing, book-oriented -- it's got everything. Granted, the celebrity booking could be a bit tough. And we'd probably have to give ear-plugs to the childrens' librarians.*
Besides, you totally know you'd go.
I would.
*Childrens' librarians, taken as a whole, have got to be one of the least-laid demographics on the planet, right behind lepers. They exist in a state of ideal innocence. NONE of these people ever have kids. I'm not entirely sure that they know how it works.
