Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The customers of the Bagley Public Library will see the hand-crafted bench and understand the impact the Clearwater Library Foundation had on making the new library a reality. Evaluation will be performed through conversations with community members and library users' reactions to the hand-crafted bench/artwork.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The Bagley Branch Librarian reported that library customers comment on the beauty of the bench daily. This has opened the conversation about the fact that it was created by a local Clearwater County artist and that it was created in honor of the Clearwater Library Association. The outcomes include conversations about the artist, about how the new library was established, and about funding from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
