Develop a 12-month programming plan for a children’s area (department), including activities for all ages, and early literacy training/programming for parents. Look at this assignment through the lens of the person who designs and implements (manages) the program.
The plan goes way beyond story times (although you will include story times as part of the yearly programming - complete plans are not necessary to include just details about the overall storytime program, including ages and times) This plan includes, but is not limited to, summer reading, unique programming opportunities like Chinese New Year celebration, etc.). For example I did a yearly petting zoo, had the Raptor Foundation bring raptors to the library for a program and invited all of the local elementary schools to participate. Include information on how the various activities enhance developmental activities at various ages for children.
Make plan as realistic and detailed as possible even though this may be an imaginary children’s department. Include best guesses for costs of what an activity or professional program might cost. I strongly suggest spending time consulting with an actual public or school librarian to get ideas and make plans as realistic as possible.
You will need to develop a budget for your programming plan. This does not include building costs or PT/FT staffing costs. The budget should only include costs for personnel that are outside of the regular library budget. You must include a volunteer plan for your programs and indicate if regular staff will be involved (but no cost would be indicated due to staff being part of the library salaries/or hourly employees).
Competencies: A, M/Objectives: 2, 3, 6
You must include the following sections in your blog (you may include more areas or topics but the ones listed must be included:
1. Introduction

Month by month programming outline with a description of each program, cost of each program (show your work), overall budget allocation for children’s programming for the year must be stated, volunteers needed, any other support you can think of, marketing/advertising plan, displays, etc. You must include how you think of managing the project based on what you’ve read and studied throughout the semester. Note of Budget: Building cost is not part of the programming budget.
3. If you are going to seek out additional sponsorship to fund your programming plan other than what your library is giving you for a budget would give you please include what companies/entities you think you would approach and why you think they would be interested in supporting your children’s library programming. If you are not seeking outside funding please explain why you aren’t?
4. Summary
5. Additional areas you think would be of interest.
