Library Presenter Proposal Tips

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

  1. All prospective presenters must respond with a proposal during a Pima County open solicitation. This is the only way we accept proposals. We do not accept program proposals by email, telephone, mail, or in person at our library locations.
  2. Library Presenter proposers have to do two things. First, Register as a BidNet Member and then, wait until the Library opens a solicitation to submit a proposal.
  3. Proposals are considered with respect to Pima County Public Library’s mission and programming priorities, staff resources, and the diverse range of learning, cultural, and recreational needs of the community.
  4. Please be aware that libraries plan programs months ahead of time. If we are interested in evaluating your services further, you will be contacted after you submit a proposal during an open solicitation.
  5. Presenters develop their own program; library staff are not available to assist in developing the program, nor to create graphics, slideshow presentations, or handouts.
  6. 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.
  7. Presenters may be asked to audition for our staff as part of the evaluation process if they receive an award.
