Attendees will see the library as a place to experience programs that are both entertaining and educational. Participant evaluations will be collected.

Measurable Outcome(s)

There were many opportunities for the audience to get involved and at the end of the program Wedgwood taught the mechanics of ventriloquism and how the puppets worked.
