Through music and interactive songs, Mary will motivate young participants to develop positive learning habits that they can use for a lifetime. The audience will be surveyed by observation and post program anecdotal responses.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The audiences were entertained by this lively program and encouraged to read and learn throughout the program. Mary provided the participants with many interactive opportunities and motivated the young audience to form life-long learning habits that will serve them well throughout their lives. Positive feedback from the audience was evident and many asked when she would be returning to the libraries. Those in Amboy and Good Thunder were particularly grateful to have a quality performance in their own communities.
