Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
This program will teach children about our natural world and animals that live in Minnesota and elsewhere. In addition it will make people more aware of the library as a community resource, specifically the library summer reading program and other offerings for children.
Measurable Outcome(s)
This was the most highly attended library event to date and brought several families who commented that they had not been to the library prior to this event. Children and parents had many positive comments. Also resulted in several new families signing up for the summer reading program and several new library card sign-ups as well.
