Here's a great programming idea for libraries - a Pecha Kucha night. I first heard about this when I was catching up online with the presentations done at this year's Computers in Libraries conference. One of the presentations was called Session C205 – 2.0 Pecha Kucha—Conversation Face-Off! The session description stated:
"Pecha Kucha is Japanese for the sound of conversation and represents a fast-paced series of presentations. Each of our panelists has 6 minutes and 40 seconds along with 20 images to express their opinion about 2.0 technologies. Each takes a view—IM, podcasts, wikis, videocasts, Facebook, and, of course, the skeptic. See if they can do it and then join in the conversation about 2.0 technology tools and tricks."
You can view the presentation here. Very cool idea.
So I started looking around, and libraries are now using this innovative idea as programming in their libraries. Pick a topic, invite people from the public to present following the rules, and there you go. Would be a very fun event! Read more about it here and here.

I"m not sure if you know this but The Creative House of Lancaster as done 2 local pecha kucha's alreay and people love it. So much so we're working on one for Nov 2008.
That's great. I think it is such a neat concept, yet challenging for a presenter. Maybe I'll be able to catch the one you do in November, would love to see one live. Thanks for the info.
