Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The community will have an opportunity to meet and ask questions of a Minnesota author. It is hoped that in the months leading up to and following his visit, patrons will become interested in Freeman's work and check out his books from the library. Participant evaluations and anecdotal responses will be collected.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Everyone who attend the event was pleased with the program, the author and his talk. Also our books at the library by Brian Freeman are getting checked out for the first time by some of the participants. This community loves meeting the authors they are reading and Freeman gave them an entertaining look at the process of researching his books. The author commented that the audience was great and he was pleased with the number of people who attended the program even though it had been rescheduled because of inclement weather.
