Measurable Outcome(s)

Comments from hosting librarian: Lots of fun. Very interesting marble machines were created--one looked like a bazooka! Kids were very involved and very competitive in the marble races at the end of the program. Many dads participated with their kids -- and loved it as much as their kids did.
