We wanted to see if we could use the wealth of free technology that’s available to us in a creative and fun way, so we decided to add an online component to our BOTB that compliments the traditional live concert/competition. This is a first for us, and we’re finding our way as we go (Big fun!). Take a look at our MySpace page and blog, and tell us what you think.<a href="http://myspace.com/pascolibraries">PCLS MySpace</a><a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=257507635&blogID=336129990">Our BOTB Info Blog</a></div>Transitional Programs for Teen Advisory Groupshttps://www.library20.com/groups/newbreedprogramming/forum/515108-Topic-351542007-07-11T02:14:22.000Z2007-07-11T02:14:22.000ZKaren Correahttps://www.library20.com/members/KarenCorrea<div>I have noticed that we have many active teens on our advisory board. We also consider the Teen Advisory Board a subgroup of the Friends. However, after they graduate they are considered then an adult. Has anyone consider doing some type of transitional programing with the older teens, let's say 11 and 12th grades, with their Friends groups? For instance a luncheon (meet and greet program.)</div>Program Funding?https://www.library20.com/groups/newbreedprogramming/forum/515108-Topic-335882007-06-27T18:41:46.000Z2007-06-27T18:41:46.000ZGail Lancasterhttps://www.library20.com/members/GailLancaster<div>I fully support your quest to expand sites for library programming, and the portable Japanese experience program sounds wonderful, perfect for a performance artist-librarian. Was Kabuki included? I do have to ask, who funded it? Are programs like yours included in your library's budget or does the money come from the Friends?Gail</div>Refreshing Program Ideashttps://www.library20.com/groups/newbreedprogramming/forum/515108-Topic-326822007-06-22T00:32:19.000Z2007-06-22T00:32:19.000ZPaul Stonebridgehttps://www.library20.com/members/PaulStonebridge<div>Let's start this group off with a discussion of refreshing ideas to get everyone's creative juices flowing. It can be something you have done or something you have seen done.Myself, I have a travelling armored combat/medieval swordfighting show that I use both in my libraries as an all-ages program and as an outreach tool at schools and other library systems.My second example (and the last I will give for now) is a travelling audio/visual lecture on Japan and modern Japanese culture, combining a digital slide show of Tokyo and its environs and a verbal presentation. This event can be complimented with an Asian food tasting in which five to 40 different authentic (pre-packaged) foods are laid out buffet style. One can truly gain an appreciation for a culture through its food. Plus, it's fun to watch children try things that adults and teens are afraid to touch. Fried coconut caterpillars, anyone?Essentially, I believe that future library programming truly needs to be flexible and portable. If the people won't come to the library, then darn it, we need to bring the programming to them, complete with numerous library plugs and much literature, of course. It's also fun to help out other library systems that may not have the staff, time, or money resources to create elaborate programs by providing some that are already library-tested and patron approved.</div>
