No one attended the adult lunch time workshop. Four teens did attend the afternoon workshop. All of the teens that attended learned useful self defense skills for a variety of situations from how to stand at concert to how to sit confidently on a bus. Mary was a very professional and knowledgeable presenter. She had everyone up and moving around and trying out the skills. She even demonstrated a karate sequence for the teens, which was impressive in its speed and power. 100% of the participants learned more about karate; 100% of the participants feel more confident about averting and identifying attacks; 50% of the participants want to check out library materials related to history, martial arts, or self defense; and 0% attended a library event for the first time.
