2008 Winner: First Fridays at Five
Congratulations to Sara Kipp and her staff at the Stillwater Free Library. By a unanimous decision, their program, “First Fridays at Five”, was chosen as the winner of the 2008 Pied Piper award! Check out Sara’s program through the link found at the bottom of the page. Remember you can take Sara’s idea and tweak it to fit at your own library!
Besides meeting the award criteria for an original program with creative design and content, “First Fridays at Five” impressed committee members with its fresh and cutting edge approach to enticing teens to use and spend time in the library. By opening their doors to teens after hours, this program empowered them to explore the library on their own terms with little interference by others. Isn’t that every teen’s dream come true?! FFAF allowed them to explore, learn, mature, and create friendships in a safe, “non-shushing” atmosphere. Most importantly, judging by the popularity of the program, the teens are having FUN IN THE LIBRARY!
The graphics that Sara’s staff created to promote the program also floored committee members. The off center design and sideways text really catches the eye and screams with teen appeal. The consistency with which it was used was also very impressive. From the blog on the library website to the flyers and the business cards that were handed out, no one could argue what program was happening, and most importantly, where it was happening. Congratulations on a job tremendously well done!
It’s not too late for you to submit your own program or promotional materials to be considered for the 2009 Pied Piper Award! Check out the criteria for the award and download your submission forms TODAY!
