Q: Should I report a program if no one attended?
A: Yes, if the program is scheduled and ready to run, but no one attends, the library still held the program and it should be included in the count of programs for that age group/format.
Q: Is passive programming included in our count of programs?
A: Passive programming - or self-directed activities - are not included in the total count of programs. However, you can now report them as a programming activity in #9.23 Total Number of Self-Directed Activities.
Q: What is the definition of a general (all ages) program?
A: A planned event for which there is no designated primary audience. If the event is intended to attract multiple age groups or types of patron groups, it is an all ages (general) program.
Q: What is the difference between co-sponsor vs. collaboration (re: programming)?
Co-sponsor: have some input into organization of event and content. Collaborate: promote but don’t help with planning/content creation.
A: Co-sponsor can be counted in programming total – collaboration cannot.
