50 Fandom Programs: Planning Festivals and Events for Tweens, Teens, and Adults

This project will help public, school and academic library staff give teens, millennials and adults who are passionate about genres, characters and book series plenty of reason to return to the library – many times. Fandom programs for libraries are different from other programs and services. These types of events can require planning across departments, tie-ins to collections and community partnerships, and targeted marketing. The proposed book holds the key to hosting fandom events both large and small on over twelve themes. By breaking down even large events in the same, approachable style that appealed to readers of A Year of Programs for Millennials and More, library staff will easily be able to translate these plans into successful events with returning patrons.
