Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Build a community of young library users, who recognize that libraries are not just books but access to education in many ways, including programming like a dance party or magician, and would return for more programs like this one.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Jammie Jam on 1/25 was a great way to engage with new parents. Our large dance party gave us a chance to introduce folks to our literacy classes and other programming as well as the library in general.

The Yoga party on 2/29, in collaboration with the City's yoga instructor, was another way to bring new faces into the library. We had a very active and engaged group who were willing to brave the cold and also the threat of Covid (our last big children's event before we cancelled all programming.)

Unfortunately, our third and final event was canceled due to COVID-19.
