Inspirational Ideas Post

This entry is going to be a post I will continually edit to come back and add ideas I find for library programming and display ideas. I find that I collect ideas from a variety of resources and am not inclined to rely on any specific medium for accumulating them all, except through a list I can arrange as I please.


Library Program Ideas

      • Day Storage for homeless (source)
        • The city of Eugene and St. Vincent de Paul Society of Lane County have joined forces to provide free day storage as a pilot project.
        • People can store belongings in a PODS container on a county-owned lot on Olive Street between the Public Library and The KIVA grocery store. People can stow backpacks, baggage and other items seven-days-a-week, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., through Sept. 30. St. Vincent de Paul employees are on site to manage the container. Any items left after 4:30 p.m. will be disposed of.
        • The city is paying St. Vincent de Paul $7,350 a month to operate the program, plus expense reimbursement, according to the contact.
        • St. Vincent holds a lottery every three months for the use of the 20 lockers at the service station.


Library Display Ideas

      • Binge Boxes (source)
        • Boxes containing 5 (or more/less) DVDs within a certain genre
        • All movies are listed and covers displayed on box label
        • I appreciate that the fines and check-out times are addressed on the flyer to be as clear as possible
