Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The opportunity to meet Mr. Krueger will be exciting, inspirational and bring a large crowd to the library. It is hopeful that this program will generate some interest in writing, whether it is fiction, articles for a local newspaper or a daily journal. It will energize the entire community as we will be doing programs in the spring that lead to his visit, including a writing workshop, book club reading and other book readings. Anecdotal responses will be collected.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We had 62 adults and 2 teenagers come to the program to hear Mr. Krueger speak about his writing technique and personal anecdotes. he got wonderful applause and the Q & A portion of the event had good participation. About 10-12 people bought books from him to be signed and our Krueger books have been in constant circulation for months before (and weeks after) his talk.
