Dear "just passing through," how do we get you to stay?

Our branch is located in a suburban commerce, high-traffic area; patrons generally stop in to run just one more errand on a long list of errands, and they're gone again within fifteen minutes unless they use a computer. Adults and young adults are often in a hurry, and they don't make an effort to come to programs unless we're doing something *huge.* 

We're not within walking distance of any of the middle or high schools and we don't have space for a traditional maker space (crafty programs are a hard sell for our teens). Our YA circ isn't bad, but it's not awesome either, except for things like John Green and the Hunger Games series.

So how do you program for an on-the-go group primarily interested in pop culture? 

Thanks!
