Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Attendees to this program will learn about the history of the Dakota people in Minnesota. In preparing for this program, the Grove City Library book club will be reading one of Colin Mustful's book - so there should be a lot to learn & discuss at the event.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The group that met really enjoyed the discussion with Colin Mustful and felt that it helped them learn more about the history of their area. The event did not bring more (new) participants to the book club, but it did spur the club to choose another book about the history of the Dakota War in Minnesota.
