Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Buster will visit the library with the goal of promoting reading as a fun activity and inspire children and families to read more at home to establish a lifelong hobby. It is hoped that offering a program like this, new patrons will come into the library. It is important to present programs that are both fun and educational.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We were able to bring 43 children this show at the library. No matter what the age, all seemed to really enjoy the show. Attendees said they thought it was fun and provided an opportunity for kids in the area who might not have the chance otherwise. Participant evaluations and anecdotal responses were gathered.
