Program Stats Entry Form – 2026

Fill this form out for each program you run; if you run the same program twice (even on the same day or back-to-back), you'd still fill out this form twice

Was this a program or an outreach visit?
Programs are events for the public - they can be in-library, off-site, virtual, or hybrid
Outreach is only for meetings with a community or professional organization (no public attendees)

A repeat program is one where you have run the exact same program with the exact same content already this calendar year. 

Repeat examples: 

  • An "iPad Basics" class - this is a repeat because it's the exact same content offered a second time 

Not a repeat: 

  • Storytimes: you're doing a different combination of stories, rhymes, etc.
  • English Conversation Circles: you're talking about different topics
  • Book bike visits: you're going to different places with different materials 

Maybe a repeat:

  • Tech for Tots: only if you're using the exact same kits as a previous session this calendar year
  • Take & Make: only if you've offered this exact same kit previously this calendar year

If this is the first time you're running the class this year, but you have other sessions planned, do not check the box— you'll use this for the next session(s) you offer.
This does not refer to the total number of people who registered for the program — this is just if you signed people up for a library card during the program.

Content/topic description

Only select content/topics below if your program fits the criteria. If you accidentally click one of the content boxes below, just click it again to de-select it. A program could potentially have multiple content types, for example, a technology program intended to foster community dialogue. If this is the case, check box the "Community" and "Digital" boxes:

Check this box If your program was for newcomers and/or English Language Learners
Check this box if your program was on an Indigenous subject matter and was open to everyone, and/or a program aimed towards Indigenous audiences
Check this box if your program was intended to foster community engagement and connection, including intergenerational events
Check this box if your program was on technology, software, computers, devices, etc.
Check this box if your program centres the stories, history, culture, ways of knowing, etc. of groups of people who have been historically marginalized (e.g. POC, Black, Immigrant, Trans, Indigenous, LGBTQIA2S+)
Check this box if your program was intended to encourage dialogue and critical thinking on current issues, and/or foster democratic engagement (e.g. mis/disinformation, voting process, etc.)
Check this box if your program was held during the Sunday-morning sensory hour

Outreach

Outreach is defined as meetings with community partners and professional organizations. Outreach meetings public events and do not have "attendees". If you were running an off-site program for the public, return to the previous page. 

Definition of meeting types:

  • Community outreach – roundtables, presentations, meetings, etc. with community partners and agencies. Examples include: City committees and working groups, NSIIP meetings, Middle Years Matters table, Inter-Agency meetings, etc.
  • Professional outreach – roundtables, presentations, meetings, etc. with other libraries or library staff, or specifically related to libraries. Examples include: BCLA committees, InterLINK committees, presentations at UBC iSchool or Langara, etc.
