the question is how do we get them there?
I was recently contacted by the manager of my public library asking why I was dissatisfied in the renovation of our library, which I find amazing since she took the time to ask people from the community and shows her ambition to make the library the best it can be. Most of my dissatisfaction is a personal thing against the library being renovated in general, since I like things to stay the same forever ;) But it got me to thinking what I would like to see more of from my public library, and I decided...
MORE COLLEGE AGED PATRONS AND PROGRAMS
Being college aged myself, I think that I would feel to young to hang out with the "adults", while being to old to partake in the teen programs which would be full of high schoolers. :P The only problem is I need help thinking of fun programs that will attract the college aged demographic and that is where you come in!
So far I have only thought of one program:
-A book club that only reads books that have a movie counterpart.
This would mean that the members would get the chance to read a book and then watch the movie, so they can discuss the differences, similarities, and what one may have portrayed better than the other. This would also be fun if a book had a movie counterpart that was coming to theaters, because everyone loves field trips :D

I would love to be able to offer more ideas,
so what do YOU think would be a great program for college kids?
