Program Proposals

How to Propose a Program

  1. Review the Libraries’ proposal requirements. For information about each library’s room capacities, please consult our meeting room chart.
  2. Fill out the Program Proposal Form in full. A copy of the proposal will be sent to the email address with which you fill out the form.
  3. Expect a response to your proposal approximately three weeks following submission. Proposals are reviewed on a competitive, case-by-case basis.

Considerations

  • Adherence to PA Forward‘s five literacies for Pennsylvania Libraries 
  • Presenter or performer expertise
  • Space, budget, and staffing requirements
  • Contribution to the library’s overall schedule of events

Notes:

  • We make every effort to plan library programs on a quarterly schedule.
  • Hybrid and virtual formats are not an option for any performed music.
  • Submission of a program proposal does not guarantee selection.
  • If your program is not selected, we will keep your information on file for a year and reach out should we wish to schedule a program with you. Please do not resubmit multiple proposals for the same program within a year.
