2. Library Program Guidelines

   Library programs are free and open to the public and are intended to promote and extend the collections, services, and mission of the Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library. Library programs that are developed and presented for adults include such activities as educational talks, author talks, art and craft workshops, writing programs, cultural performances, digital literacy classes, and information sessions related to mental health, housing and community services. Library programs that are developed and presented for children and/or their parents or caregivers include such activities as storytelling, puppet shows, skill-building workshops, art or musical programs and parenting presentations.

   Program proposals from the public which complement the library’s collections, services and goals are chosen by staff according to the needs and interests of the community, the availability and suitability of the library’s physical space, and the program’s contribution to the library’s overall schedule of events. Programs must comply with the library’s meeting room policies which mandate that programs be open to the public and free of charge, and prohibits commercial advertising or solicitation.

   Individuals and organizations interested in partnering with the library are invited to submit a proposal following the requirements listed below. Proposal submissions are accepted on a continuous basis and must include all of the required information. Please note that library programs are scheduled six months in advance. Applicants will be notified once the program proposal has been received. All submitted proposals will be kept on file and a staff member will contact an applicant if and when there is interest in hosting the proposed program.
