This guide walks through the process of adult program development and event planning for libraries. It explains how to target a particular audience in the community, find and contract local performers, raise funds, generate publicity, and produce programs that run smoothly. Some 20 programs from around the country are described, including film series, book discussion, performances, topical panels, and art classes. The book includes some 30 samples of newsletters, press releases, surveys, scheduling tools, and checklists. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
