We distributed evaluation forms after each program. We hoped that patrons would have a new understanding and/or appreciation for the theater and circus, and learn something new about the basic instinct of "play". We also hoped patrons would leave with a stronger association of the library as a place to experience arts and cultural programming.
73% of respondents said they strongly agree that this program brought their community a new cultural or artistic experience. 64% strongly agreed they learned something new about the arts, history or culture. 91% said after this program, they are very likely to think of the library as a place to experience arts or cultural programming. Public comments included, "he was generous with his time- stayed long past the end of the program sharing his skills with parents and kids," and "great fun- we love learning new tricks and skills! We love the instructor!"
