Measurable Outcome(s)
60% of those in attendance felt they would not have had this experience had the library not held the program. Comments included: This program is really fun and education to learn about different cultures and some of our own heritage; It was so fun once I got the hang of the "knitting". I really appreciate the ability to come to my library. Thank you
