Flyer

Creating a flyer in MS Word was simple, and saving it in various formats (particularly as a pdf) is also simple. Using a template is the most efficient way to create special documents in word, and I found one that needed only a small number of changes (color changes, adding text and information, etc.) to suit my needs.

I created a flyer for a public library program that I would really enjoy implementing if I were to get a job in a public library (big dream, I keep envisioning myself there). I think the program would be a success (as I've heard it has been in other libraries) and even tested it on a friend who never puts a toe in a library. I presented the flyer to her and she said she would definitely attend the program. I was fairly surprised, but also excited that even a person who was not already a regular public library patron would turn out for such an event.

Basically, the program is for an adult story hour- just like children's story time, only instead of reading a children's book in one sitting, the readings would occur weekly until the book was complete, and there would be time for discussion after the reading. Somewhat similar to a book club, but enhanced by having the story read to you.
