Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

For this virtual program we posted a survey link alongside the video. We hoped patrons would have a new understanding and/or appreciation for music and improvisation, and learn something new about the both. We hoped patrons would be inspired to notice that music can be all around you, if you use your imagination. We also hoped that patrons would leave with a stronger association of the library as a place to experience arts and cultural programming.

Measurable Outcome(s)

100% of respondents said they agree or strongly agree that this program brought their community a new cultural or artistic experience. 67% agreed they learned something new about the arts, history or culture. 100% said after this program, they are likely or very likely to think of the library as a place to experience arts or cultural programming. Public comments included, "Surprising choice in music! Kids will love it!" and, "I love how this program appeals to kids' instincts to play, and turns that into art!"
