[Lswtalk] Storyteller swap? Lend-a-librarian?

[Erin Chesnutt]

Ok, folks! Here's an idea to run by you:

I was just speaking with my programming director about how ridiculously 
expensive it has become to bring in many of the childrens and YA 
entertainers. I got to thinking that sometimes just a new face and 
personality is all it takes to reinvigorate a program. SO ... what do 
you guys think about finding some times to have our libraries' 
story-telling staff visit another library for a special storytime.  We 
get to advertise a "special guest," the kids/parents see a new 
perspective on a beloved program ... it sounds like a win/win to me.

For Beauregard's part, I'd be happy to pay my own staff person's wages 
for the time spent working as a guest at your library if you'd just pay 
mileage reimbursement.

This could be a relatively cheap special event for SRP or, if everyone's 
too busy to travel during that time, it can be a fun change-up any time 
of the year! It'd take some scheduling and planning, but I think it'd be 
fun. Thoughts?
