For librarians and program coordinators

Simple planning from first inquiry to showtime

1. Share the program goals

Tell Sparkles the date, audience ages, expected attendance, theme, and the experience you have in mind.

2. Confirm the setting

Indoor or outdoor space, audience layout, access, parking, timing, and sound expectations help shape the plan.

3. Receive a personal follow-up

Sparkles reviews the details, recommends a format, and confirms availability, pricing, and next steps.
