Recently, I took up creating passive programs at my library. Here are a couple of the programs that I have done.
For February, I did a “Blind Date with a Book.” It is a very popular passive program. My goal with designing this display was to keep it cutesy, but not juvenile.
This was a flyer I created to advertise my Halloween scavenger hunt for the kids at the library. Due to it being geared towards kids, I opted for pastels and a kid-friendly design.
This was created for a “Create your Own Comic Book” passive program that was located in the back of the library for the YA Graphic novel area.
This program is a fun voting program. There is a little jar of pebbles. Once a day, a patron can take one pebble and vote in their favorite category. This time, the categories are candy corn, chocolate, sour/gummy, and hard. As you can see, this is a very successful program so far.
This is a December passive program that I’ve done for two years now. I wanted the design to be fun, with minimal graphics.
This was another scavenger hunt that the kids got to do. I hid a stuffed Olaf somewhere in the library each week for January along with a hint to his location.
I created a Thankful Tree for November where people could write on colored papered leaves and place them on a fake tree in the library. It was quite a popular program.
This was a passive program in November in which kids solved a puzzle to win a prize. I wanted this to look like a missing pet sign, and I had a lot of fun making it.
This is another example of a flyer I created for a passive program that I did. The kids really enjoyed this one hunt!
