Programming ideas from Sept meeting

At the adult programming meeting last month, several libraries talked about some successful library programs held at their libraries over the past year. Here's a sampling of some of the program topics mentioned: Coin show with a coin appraiser present, Jewelry identification, How to sell on eBay, Butterfly program, Organic lawn care, Solar & geothermo heating, Focus on Energy (with WE Energies http://www.we-energies.com/), Cookbook exchange with a cooking demonstration from a local eating establishment, Golf program (note: lots of fathers and sons attended), Rosemaling, De-cluttering, “Champagne Life on a Beer Budget”. There were other program ideas mentioned. Anyone want to chime in with other program ideas offered at the meeting? Add your comments (Note: Anyone can comment on postings. You don't have to be a "Contributor to do that.) :)

    I mentioned Jessica Michna and her first ladies programs. She did Mary Todd Lincoln for us and it was very well received. Since then, I've seen her do Eleanor Roosevelt, which was also very good. Her business is called "First Impressions".

    I just wanted to mention that next February is National Boy Scout Month and we at the Cudahy Family Library are contemplating having local scouts come into the library and do a presentation/program on scouting activities. There also seems to be a good deal of interest in T'ai C'hi demonstrations. We have had one with another instructor proposing to do an on-going class. The Goodwill also puts on a fabulous fashion show of vintage clothing.
