This document discusses stealth programming techniques for libraries to engage children and families. Stealth programming involves low-effort programs that encourage independent participation, like check-out clubs and scavenger hunts. The document provides examples like 1000 Books Before Kindergarten and summer reading programs. It notes that switching to more stealth programming can decrease traditional programs but increase overall circulation, especially of children's materials. Various stealth programming ideas are presented, like check-out clubs, photo scavenger hunts, and DIY stations.
