These programs are pretty self-explanatory but shouldn't be forgotten:
Legos at the Library: Ages 9-12. Come to the library and build a lego set! Legos can be a little expensive, so I would say this could be either a monthly program or a quarterly program.
(For Halloween) Decorate a Pumpkin!: Ages 9 and up. Buy smaller pumpkins if you're on a budget.
Photography Contest: Ages 14 and up. Teens will submit a photograph based on the topic chosen (i.e. your favorite place, your favorite color) and people at the library will vote for their favorite. The winning photograph will be permanently hung up at the library.
Personalize Your Journal: Provide marble composition notebooks, paint, glue and magazines. Ages 12 and up.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever release party! This is a time sensitive event. The book comes out Nov. 15, 2011. Here are activities for a Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days launch party but it works for Cabin Fever also.
Movies Based on Books Reading Group Could be for any age group. I would suggest meeting quarterly since you'll never run out of books that were made into movies.
Introduction to American Sign Language, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, etc. Could be for any age group.
Downloading e-books to your e-reader tutorials
Make your own T-shirt or Tote Bag: Ages 12 and up. Provide t-shirts/totes but also encourage them to bring their own. Fabric paint will be provided.
(For Christmas) The Art of Gift Wrapping: Adult program.
50 Simple Things Kids Can Do to Save the Earth Earth Day program for children ages 9-12
(For Christmas) Christmas Around the World: Ages 9-12. Food, traditions, crafts. Germany, Italy, China, Japan, Australia, Africa...
