Audrey Barbakoff - Library Programming
A wealth of resources exist that are geared
towards serving the needs of toddlers, school age children, young adults, and
senior citizens. But something's missing. Library users in their
20s and 30s constitute one of the most underserved populations and there's a
scarcity of guidance on how to target them. KRL's Adult Services Manager
Audrey Barbakoff's book
Adults Just Wanna Have Fun: Programs for
Emerging Adults (2016) helps to fill that gap. Barbakoff, a 2013
Library Journal Mover & Shaker who was also named one of Flavorwire's '10
of the Coolest Librarians Alive', shows how to draw emerging adults to the
library using a mixture of play and engagement and keep them coming back for
more.
