Bibliography
"The guidebook every library needs to plan a oneshot program, weekend festival, or on-going program ... Highly recommended for any library which engages in this type of programming."
— Catholic Library World
"If you add only one adult-programming handbook to the professional collection this year, make it this one ... Programming tips are sprinkled through chapters that list films for specific age groups, subject areas, and tie into other library events. Don't skip the chapter on 'Viewers' Advisory,' which makes great connections between readers' and viewers' advisory."
