Learn how to plan, fund, and survive organizing an event that draws a crowd—without losing your sanity (or your budget). We’ll cover how to find sponsors, woo community partners, and dodge common pitfalls. Whether you're a planning pro or just Googled “how to host an event,” you’ll leave with real tools, big laughs, and the confidence to pull it off at your library—even if your only resource is a cup of coffee, and pure willpower.
