Small Library, Big Community: Soup and Sound

Patrons at Slater Public Library share a meal and prepare to listen to entertainment at Soup and Sound

At Slater (Iowa) Public Library, we find that it's usually tough to get adults to attend programs. But we have also seen a few notable exceptions, one of which is our Soup and Sound program. As the name suggests, this consists of serving a meal and providing entertainment to attendees. Soup and Sound is not only popular — it's fun, community-building, and we've been able to cover our program costs with donations.

Access Entertainment Introduces Patrons to Free Digital Content

Unwrapping digital presents is easy. Using them is not as simple. Some Raytown, Mo., residents head to the library to learn how to get the most out of their electronics.

Christmas is coming — and with it, library patrons looking for ways to get the most out of the electronic devices they unwrapped under the tree.

At Mid-Continent Public Library (MCPL), the Raytown Branch has created Access Entertainment, an hour-long program that takes patrons on a tour of the library’s website and shows them step-by-step how to find free books, movies and music for their personal screens.
