- Program Goals
- Offer a program on a no-school day
- Bring school-age kids into the library
- Market collections (Wimpy Kid read-alikes)
- Build a backlog of book/character parties for use on Friday afternoons
- Attendance: 35
- Evaluation
- 10-24-14
- Attendance: 20
- Connections/Feedback: A lot of younger kids. Attendance on no-school days is really spotty, so this wasn't an unexpected number and not that bad considering. Everyone had a lot of fun and tried everything. I'm going to use some of the fill-in quizzes and the add to a comic project for a display next month.
- Notes: Life happened and I didn't plan this until the last minute. I've also (true confession) never actually read the books. I'm more of a Big Nate fan. Next time I'll get stronger toilet paper because I realized I didn't need as much. I decided to add the movie at the last minute and that was good because it took the kids a long time to warm up and get moving.
