Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We expected that participants in this program would learn paper-folding techniques and come away with ornaments and 3D art for their homes. Participants would have the opportunity to work closely with an artist and receive hands-on instruction and advice. Participant evaluations and anecdotal responses will be collected.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Attendees of this program learned how to create ornaments and paper trees from book pages. Our participants were engaged and excited, some creating multiple ornaments and trees. Many took home extra books so they could continue to create these items at home. Some of the survey responses read: "Wasn't sure what to expect, but I had a lot of fun! Wonderful environment. I will keep an eye open for future programs. "Enjoyed the program! Super friendly, positive, and fun atmosphere. "Fun, multi-generational gathering." "We love our library and all the fun programs it brings in. Thanks again!" "Jen did a great job and I love all the programs that the library has to offer!" Others stated how much they enjoyed learning the folding techniques, and one survey even said they met a new friend there. Someone also wrote that they learned that "MN cares about our community by providing this grant to provide this opportunity."
