Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Library customers will learn more about their histories and cultural background.
Measurable Outcome(s)
98 people attended classes that helped them learn more about their family history and cultural background. Originally we intended to offer one program, but the classes were so popular and filled up so quickly (including many folks from other counties), we kept adding more classes to meet demand. 79 evaluations were completed, with an average rating of 4.7 out of a possible 5. This was a great partnership with the Anoka County Genealogical Society.
