Program Description: 

Playtime

Sharing in playtimes is an excellent way to help children build social skills, promote learning and discover that the library is a destination for fun! Children will have the opportunity to practice skills such as: following directions, socializing with others, using language, using small and large muscles, and remaining in control during play.

Child Development

Program Justification
Is a program the best way to meet the expressed need or present information?: 
Yes
Does the program fit the goals of the MLS?: 
Yes
How & why does this program meet the goals of the MLS?: 
Terrific Tuesdays as a recurring event allows school age children to engage with their families and community in a safe environment. It builds communities and allows children to express their identity through play.
Which Strategic Plan Response/Goals does this program meet?: 
Satisfy Curiosity: Your libraries are centers that offer access to civic, cultural and community enrichment opportunities.
Why will this program be successful?: 
Traditionally we have seen excellent attendance on Tuesday summer programming. Amy and I attended a training on parachute play last year and we have already reached out to Rondia and Mary at NW to learn what the discovered as best practices when offering this program at their location.
How will success be measured/determined?: 
- attendance - enthusiasm - safety

Yes

Community Engagement

How will you promote this event to the community?: 
Other
If you selected, "Other" please explain: 
Library poster. This level of marketing has created plenty of interest without more community outreach.
What library resources and services will you connect to this program?: 

Our music collection!

Are volunteers needed?: 
Yes

Supplies

Are supplies needed?: 
No supplies are needed for this particular program.
Final Comments: 
We will be borrowing more parachutes from outreach. Also, I put the blurb from the blurb bank, but we will actually be using a recurring terrific Tuesday blurb and then will list specifics on a poster displayed at the front of the children's area. This program is being offered collaboratively with Amy Thomas. Because we are not using an outside presenter, we will both need to be off desk that afternoon.
Are you ready for your supervisor to evaluate this program?: 
Yes
Move Forward?: 
Yes, I'm ready to move on.
