Our youth librarian posted pictures of the programs on our Facebook page after each one. This seemed to promote interest in attending programs. I would post blurbs on our Twitter account as well.

This could include Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, blogging, online book reviews, YouTube (go RRPL <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFountPIF0M> !), online registration, online reading logs/tracking, virtual programs, etc. I am especially interested in creative ideas for limited budgets and limited staff. Thanks a bajillion.
