Vetted Program: Pint-Sized Polkas
Provide an interactive musical experience to children of all ages. Enhance musical enjoyment through age-appropriate song and dance. Increase access to educational and family-friendly music. Encourage children to include more music in their daily lives.
Reinforce the idea that libraries are places to experience cultural or arts programming.
Several kids raised their hands when asked if they wanted to learn more about polka music. The adults felt it was very entertaining and interactive. They also are more likely to think of the library as a place to experience arts and cultural programming. It was 'real entertainment' and the children liked being able to be involved. Children and adults alike enjoyed the performance. The adults surveyed felt they would look at the library for more cultural and art events. All of the children said they would see a similar program at the library. The majority of adults rated the performance a 5. The only improvement would be to have it last a little longer.
