Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Participants will gain a greater understanding of the historical and cultural topics of the programs, and make these gains in an enjoyable setting.
Measurable Outcome(s)
This was a new partnership with Three Rivers to provide preschool programs in the libraries. Although the families that attended enjoyed the programs, attendance was very low. Eleven programs were scheduled, but three were cancelled due to no registrants, and Three Rivers will apply a $235 credit to programs they are doing for us in the fall.
To address this problem, we changed the programs in the fall from afternoon programs to morning programs that take place at our branches' usual storytime and during school breaks to increase attendance of preschoolers and their older siblings.
