Measurable Outcome(s)

Ralph's World' was a wonderful children's program enjoyed by all ages! Grammy nominated musician Ralph Covert toured Pioneerland in July and performed at 24 libraries over ten days. Feedback from both children/adult attendees, and from staff, was awesome. Ralph is wonderful with kids and provides a fun show filled with dancing, singing, silliness, and tons of audience participation. In addition, there are lessons in what it means to be dyslexic and how not to let it stop you achieving what you want to in life. Some of the many positive comments include: 'Really enjoyed the interaction - the way he (Ralph) flowed according to the needs/comments of the children.' 'Ralph did a great job. He's very kid friendly without being too 'kiddy.' 'My kids really enjoyed the program - we would definitely come back to the library for another program. Two thumbs up!'
