This program exceeded our expectations. Attendees were thrilled with the performance. Several adults and families that had not been at a library program before were there. Since this program reinforced reading patrons checked out materials after the program. The performers encouraged storytelling at home by explaining how to use different props, changing your voice and using a story to stimulate imagination.
