Measurable Outcome(s)

Comments from hosting librarian: Lezlee is one of the most adept leaders at handling large crowds of a variety of ages. She has a way of keeping everyone engaged whether they be 3 or 12. That said, I felt like many of the kids finished this project in 10 minutes because there was only one type of material used (the Model Magic clay). She did a good job of encouraging the kids to add on to their lizards, but it still went by much more quickly than I was expecting. In terms of a library friendly product-- the Model Magic is great. We have one little spot that I'll have to scrape out of the carpet, but for the size of the class, I am okay with that. I could have easily booked a repeat of this program, as interest in this program was very, very high. We had 37 total children and adults. (SSP)
