Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Arn Kind visited our system last year and was very popular so a good attendance is expected for this program. We will count the number of attendees and have them fill out evaluations.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We had a great turn-out, including several people who don't attend library programs often. One comment a librarian said was "One person said how important it is to keep funding programs like these because of the distance we are." Some comments attendees made were: "Great presenter! Loved his French accent," "Wonderful program, it was very entertaining and he is quite knowledgeable," "Thank you for bringing us such a wonderful program," and "Very informative and fun! Please have more programs like this."
