[LM_NET] GEN: NEED MAJOR PROGRAM HELP!

[Raynette Schulte <rschulte@WATERTOWNSD.US>]

We are remodeling our public library (YIPEE!).  It's great news.  It's going to be 
a half a million add-on and remodel. 
The problem, we are moving out while the construction takes place (YIPEE- again).  
We don't want to live in the middle of that for the next 14-16 months.  BUT, we are 
not finding buildings that have 'rooms' in them to do additional programs.  We are 
pretty much moving into a warehouse style building.  No walls, no privacy, no 
chance of doing our own thing.  
Our library director is challenging us to come up with ideas that will still draw 
people to the 'fake library' building.  We used to be able to do summer programs 
with the kids- crafts, tours, story hours- you name it, we did it.  We also used to 
hold adult programs- scrapbooking, film festivals, speakers.  We won't have room 
for any of that.

SO, does anyone have any 'get 'em into the library' thoughts?  What can we do that 
won't require a separate room, or privacy, and can be done quietly?  We are looking 
at Book Bingo and a few other ideas that would be contest type things, but my mind 
is running pretty dry.  I am hoping some of your creative minds will give us some 
new insight!

THANKS!
