Library Anniversary: Anniversaries of agencies will be celebrated on 25, 50, 75, 100, etc. on a larger scale (i.e. an event). If individual agencies would like to have a community celebration (cake and punch, etc.) on smaller increments they are welcome to plan that as a program, but they will not be considered a larger scale event.

Definition of an event vs. a program:

• An Event is system-wide, involving more than an individual community and needing help outside of a specific library, more in-depth planning, additional publicity and possibly volunteers or sponsors.
• A Program is agency-level, planned and implemented by the programmer(s). The publicity needs for a program are basic: in the MLS Calendar, Oklahoman or local newspaper listing of programs, agency signage.
