After Teen Services: Library Programming and Outreach for the New Adult

 Registration is closed for this event

According to the Pew Research Center’s 2015 Libraries at the Crossroads Report. 52% of people between the ages of 16 and 29 visited a bookmobile or library within the past year. However, libraries often omit this new adult population from dedicated programming and outreach.

During this two-hour session, we will identify services and programming initiatives created with these new adults’ needs and interests in mind, comparing such programs to separate teen and adult initiatives. We will also design outreach plans directed to new adults in public and academic libraries.
