The Lighthouse Diary #35: What I Learned from Being an Impresario for the Library

Of course I enjoy organizing literacy and bookish events for the learning community! 

These activities and events are in part relevant to school library programming. Last November, we had an Author Visit and this February, we will have a POP Talk. From these experiences, I learned to respect the author's and the content creator's work. One of the things I added in the process of organizing a library event is the Author/Content Creator Agreement.

This is how it looks like.

1. Provide us with bank account information for the transfer of your honorarium/professional fee. Upon receipt, you will send back to me a proof of transfer via email: *****@beaconacademy.ph. 

2. Your talk will be recorded as part of the school's documentation process. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns about this. If you agree, you will be given a copy of the video recording.

3. It is advisable to log in 15 minutes before _____ to test audio and video as well as WiFi connection.

4. Promotion of book and current projects during the talk and publication of collateral in the Newsletter will be made possible. Please send us your materials, content and posters.

5. Please provide us with a 30 min recorded video of your talk three days before the event. This is when and if we encounter tech problems. On the day of the talk, you may choose to go live or have the recorded video presented to the community.

6. Rest assured that the materials and content you made for this event will be respected under existing academic honesty policies of the school. 

There will be more learning to be gained from this. We learn as we go!
