ABSTRACT

An explorative survey pertaining to organization and execution of programs and events offered in public libraries across Connecticut revealed that library programs have been steadily increasing in recent years, with most libraries providing one hundred or more programs a year. The types of programs that are most popular vary throughout the library’s open hours. Children’s programming appears to be more popular during the day while adult programming is more popular in the evening. Program popularity is based on grouping and continuous support from external partners. While this study confirmed that both library space and library staff sizes are adequate for programming, a further investigation would assert that this is the case within nationwide library programming.

摘要

一项关于康涅狄格州公共图书馆提供的项目和活动的组织和执行的探索性调查显示，图书馆项目近年来一直在稳步增加，大多数图书馆每年提供一百个或更多项目。最受欢迎的节目类型在图书馆的开放时间内各不相同。儿童节目似乎在白天更受欢迎，而成人节目在晚上更受欢迎。计划受欢迎程度基于外部合作伙伴的分组和持续支持。虽然这项研究证实图书馆空间和图书馆工作人员规模都足以进行编程，但进一步的调查将断言在全国图书馆编程中就是这种情况。
