Here is a test post for the Adult Services Forum.
As discussed in the Adult Services Meeting yesterday, this might be a good place to post ideas about programs you think other libraries might be interested in offering to their customers.
You may practice posting replies here, or start new discussion threads.
Enjoy,
Annie
Looking forward to the follow up on all the topics we bounced around yesterday. Good meeting, Anita and it was great to see everyone.
Hey all, I think some of you wanted more info on how I'm going to do my Online Book Club. I decided to use GoodReads.com, since I have an account there and it's rather self explanatory to use. I set up an open group there, made some rules and a list of books from various genres that we have at least 10 copies of in the system, and am going to have people vote on what they want to read. I'm starting it in March, and I am going to post discussion forums and questions that we can use to talk about the book for that whole month. This is the page for it: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/119990-al-s-bookclub
We'll just see how it goes, and if it doesn't work out, no big whoop, I can just delete the whole thing!
Alexis,
I love this idea! And that is a hefty book list to choose from. Thanks for being innovative with your programs! I like it!
Is anybody considering the Victorian Forensics Program "It's Elementary Dr. Watson" (see description below) from the Science Museum for Summer programs? I'm new to adult services and looking for some program ideas, so please share.
Thanks,

IT’S ELEMENTARY, DOCTOR WATSON
A dastardly culprit is on the loose and Scotland Yard needs help.
It’s crime scene science by gaslight!
So, don your best disguise to search for clues as we explore Victorian forensics through the eyes of the most beloved of all fictional detectives. From the brownstones of Baker Street to the stews of White Chapel, we’ll follow Sherlock Holmes as he utilizes his innovative crime-solving methods. Whether it’s the chemistry of poison or the secrets hidden in a shoeprint, we’ll experience first-hand the remarkable deductions that can come from the most mundane of facts. It is, after all, elementary.
I think we might do that at Almonte, and I am looking to see if we have space to have the historical re-enactor come do a Rosie the Riveter performance--it seems kind of science-y.
