31 Days of Horror: Day 9-- Watch Your Favorite Horror Authors Talk About Books Anytime!

While a few days ago, I wrote about how you can reach out to the HWA library committee to get live Horror programming for your library, and yesterday I featured a librarian who is actively creating Horror programming content, but today I have easier and more immediate option-- use existing video conversations with today's hottest authors to offer content right now.

Seriously, demand for Horror programming is strong all year long, and there is a lot you can offer for free to your patrons right from your websites. 

Today I have a few options for specific programs and content providers that allow you to offer a slate of archived programs and new events.

Just remember, you don't have to be the one creating the content for you to offer it to your patrons. Below is an annotated list with content for anyone to use anywhere.

And finally, I would like to personally invite you to an upcoming event that I am a part of-- Feel the Fear: A Horror Roundtable Discussion hosted by the Chicago Public Library and featuring Stephen Graham Jones, Alma Katsu, and Hailey Piper moderated by me. It is on October 27th, at 6pm, and no registration is necessary. You just go to YouTube or Facebook to participate. Click here for all of the details

These are just a sampling of what is out there for you to offer to your patrons. I know many libraries do not have the staff time or the budgets to offer much programming, but that doesn't mean you cannot satisfy your patrons' appetite for Horror. I hope this post makes you not only rethink Horror related programming, but also all of your virtual offerings to your patrons.
