The blog is divided into five core components. This introduction page serves as an explanation to the purpose of this webpage. The programs give detailed explanation to what each weekly and monthly programs are offered and how they serve the public by adding components of early literacy and child development. The Summer Reading Program portion serves as an explanation to what the program is and how patrons will participate in the program. The schedule show a 12 month programming calendar with special programs added to each month. Notably on two of the months is a storytime recess to allow staff for early literacy training. Depending on on staffing there will be a rotation on which staff will be attending certain trainings including Touchpoints, staff development, and external trainings. The goal is to demonstrate my ability to create a year of programming for a children's and family services. 

In order to reach the community and inform patrons of the library programs, there will be multiple forms of marketing used. Marketing will begin at least a month or two before the actual program. Flyers for the program will be printed on quarter sheets and will be passed out on reference and circulation desk. A digital flyer will also be available on the websites calendar of events and will also be posted on Facebook and Instagram. The children’s librarian will also reach out to the local elementary school’s librarian and send a digital copy to be printed and displayed at the school. The librarians can also request a physical 11x17 copy to be printed as well. The name and brief description of the program will also be available in the city's magazine & newsletter of program and events. Sample marketing for a tween program is featured below:
