Submit a Program Proposal

St. Catharines Public Library is happy to take suggestions from outside presenters wishing to conduct programs. Program submissions will be reviewed based on our established policies, specifically our Programming Policy, and to ensure they align with the Library’s strategic goals, mission and values.  

Submissions are reviewed 3-6 months in advance of presentation, and if approved, SCPL will provide space and promotion.  

Preference for approval will be given, but not limited to:  

• Not-for-profit and charitable organizations 
• Individuals who are providing programs as a public service and not with the intent of making a profit
• Programs that are free or require a small fee for cost-recovery only 
• Programs that promote an interest in reading, culture, information literacy and research skills, promote an awareness of contemporary issues and information needed to engage in society, or are simply entertaining, enjoyable, educational experiences 
• Programs that support the freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression of all community members
