Program Logistics
The following resources are provided to help librarians design and carry out a successful LTAI discussion program. We suggest that librarians new to the LTAI program begin with the LTAI Library Handbook. Long-time LTAI librarians are encouraged to review this handbook as well, as it has been updated significantly!
- LTAI Library Handbook (PDF)
- Tips for Hosting a Discussion Program (PDF)
- Book Checkout Sheet (PDF) – Optional tool for tracking LTAI books.
- Participant Feedback Form (PDF) This brief feedback form should be printed and provided to LTAI participants after each session and collected by the library.
Library Report Form
Libraries must submit a final report at the conclusion of their LTAI program. This report will be completed online using the link below. For libraries who have participated in LTAI in previous years, please note that all components of library reporting have now been combined into one form. Information entered into the form cannot be saved. We recommend reviewing the questions prior to completing the form and drafting your responses in Word or other software first.
We strongly recommend that participating libraries review the questions on final report prior to starting their program. This will ensure you are collecting the information you need for each session.
