2015 Calendar

January 30, 2015 by Karen Jensen, MLS   Leave a Comment

Planning. It takes, well, planning. What kind of displays do I want to do? What kinds of programming? Here are some upcoming events that I am using to help me plan. I am a big movie junkie so I like to do tie-ins when I can, even if it is just a genre display. And of course there are a lot of educational events that happen throughout the year which are important. I’m trying to work on a calendar list. Here’s what I have so far. Please let me know what’s on your calendar that isn’t on mine.

February

Teen Dating Violence and Prevention Month – Call your local hospital and ask if they have a Sexual Assualt Nurse Examiner (SANE), they sometimes do educational programs on the topics of healthy relationships
