Think you need a big budget to build an engaging after-school program? Think again! In this session, discover how one librarian launched a thriving after-school program from the ground up with less than $100 a year. Serving a low-income community, this initiative brought in everything from coding and cooking classes to therapy animals, photography, sewing, music, and career exploration… all at little to no cost. Learn how to tap into community partnerships, think outside the box, and turn your library into the go-to after-school hub for enrichment, creativity, and connection. Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow your existing offerings, you’ll leave with ready-to-use ideas, tips for finding hidden resources, and inspiration to create long-lasting partnerships.
