Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Communities need to unite and this is a great way to interact and have part in the town festival. Leslie Dolby may inspire people to enjoy each other's company and bring them closer together. It may also demonstrate to community members that the library has a great deal to offer them and they will recognize its importance in the community. Anecdotal responses will be collected.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Many children came into the library in the days following the program to sign up for our summer reading program. At the event children and parents danced and participated in the program. Many of the older generation sat and ate burgers while swaying to the music while others sat and visited with their neighbors.
