60% of those in attendance felt they would not have had this experience had the library not held the program. Outcomes/comments from the survey included: 'This program is really fun and educational to learn about different cultures and some of our own heritage; It was so fun once I got the hang of the 'knitting.' I really appreciate the ability to come to my library. Thank you.'
