People will gain better appreciation of story telling and story telling techniques. They will be better educated on story telling. The community of Tracy, and other people, will become better aware of educational programming at public libraries, including programs free and open to the public.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We were given feedback from at least five adult patrons about how much they enjoyed the program, especially the storytelling Halloween theme used. Other remarks included how professional Kevin's program was.
