Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
This program is being held as part of the communities annual 'Island Days' celebration. Will increase audiences awareness of the library and of the fun of storytelling.
Measurable Outcome(s)
A well attended event with half of the attendees were not regular library users - so did help increase awareness of the library in the community. The children enjoyed hearing the stories and learning stories they could share. Anecdotal responses include: "Thank you, this was a nice family event." (Grandma) "I liked the funny stories." (Riley, Age 8) "It was nice to have a program that the very young kids could enjoy too" (Mom)
