Attendees will be able to identify one new idea or concept learned or have a richer cultural life. Attendees are asked, "Please share something new you learned or how your life was enriched because of the program? If so, how?"
ECRL staff planned and implemented a variety of literary arts events that occurred around the region. A selection of these performers and presenters were: Minnesota Authors Will Weaver, Lucie B. Amudensen & William Kent Krueger. A selection of the attendee feedback is below:
"That storytelling is an art - and a preservation of family history - and very fun and enjoyable." "The authors commitment to build community by sharing his a story." "How important it is for authors to research to keep things accurate." "How the author plans the story. Writers have to be disciplined as any artist needs to be."
