Additional programs are always different. This is kind of a catch-all term I have started using for any evening programs we have, but usually there is only 1 or 2 per semester.
These programs are usually bigger and *require* sign up. I would never ever turn anyone away, but we STRONGLY encourage sign up with these programs because usually it takes a lot of setup and prep work.
Families are encouraged to attend these programs as well, and usually they have things for kids of out whole age bracket, birth-12 years old.
Last fall, we did a Spook-tacular Halloween Party as our only additional program. It ran on a Tuesday night from 6-8 because those are our latest open hours. There were games, candy, and a costume contest. We had a ton of people come out!
In the Spring we showed a movie during Spring Break. It was during normal open hours, so it wasn’t an evening, but we had a good number of kids for that one too! I got a projector and screen, and we borrowed the popcorn machine from the main branch. I will definitely keep doing a program during Spring Break for all the kids who don’t go on vacation.
I actually have 3 additional programs scheduled for this fall! I will post about them as they happen!
