Program Application

The Port Townsend Public Library is proud to offer a variety of programs to the community. We provide equal access to the community, and all programs are offered free of charge.

Presenters can be individuals, organizations, performers, artists, or educators. Programs may include performances, workshops, concerts, or informational presentations.

Thank you for your interest in providing a program at the library. Before submitting your program proposal, please review the following:

1. Proposals are considered with respect to Port Townsend Public Library's mission and programming priorities, staff resources, and the diverse range of learning, cultural, and recreational needs of the community.
2. Please be aware that we plan programs months ahead of time and receive many competitive program proposals. If we are interested in evaluating your services further, you will be contacted by staff. Not all applicants will be contacted.
3.  Presenters are expected to fully develop their own program; library staff is not available to assist in developing the program, nor to create graphics, slideshow presentations, or handouts.
4. Library programs are not an opportunity to promote your business or service. Programs must be non-commercial, and collection of customer contact information is prohibited.
5. If you are an author, please read our Collection Development Policy. The Port Townsend Public Library typically does not host authors that do not meet our collection guidelines.
6. Presenters may be asked to audition for our staff as part of the evaluation process.
7. The presenter shall not claim that the Port Townsend Public Library endorses the presenter or any product or service.
8. Before filling out this online form, gather all necessary information. You must submit this form in one session; you cannot save and return to the form.
