Lawrence Public Library provides programs that connect the community with books, the arts, entertainment, current events, local history, scholarship, and hands-on skills. Why do you think your program will appeal to library patrons and how will it fit these program goals? *

Information for the library’s print calendar is due 10 weeks before the event date. Can you meet this deadline? *

The library’s budget is set the previous year, including event funds. For most co-sponsored events at the library, the location and marketing is provided by the library and the presentation is donated or provided by a community partner. Does your program suggestion require a monetary request for your presentation? *

What will your co-sponsoring community organization contribute? *

Have you previously contacted any library staff person about this partnership? *
