Programming on a Shoestring Budget

David Mixdorf, Director & Odessa Meyer, Children’s Librarian, South Sioux City Public Library (NE)

The South Sioux City Public Library provides around 1,500 programs a year with a programming budget of $3,000.00. How are we able to do it? We rely on donations, volunteers, and we have a staff that is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of our  patrons.  In the past three years program participation has increased from 2000 participants to 9000 participants.  We will discuss the types of programs offered, recruiting volunteers, and how to receive donations or grants.
