Minnesota History Player: Harriet Bishop
We anticipated that the majority in attendance would learn something about Minnesota History,
enjoy the program and at least half of them would be interested in coming to another program like this.
This librarian observed interest and enjoyment on the audience’s faces. Good questions were asked during and after the program. Audience members enjoyed passing around the artifacts and telling stories about their own stitching samples and quilting and the schoolbooks used when they were in a one room school house.
Several people asked me when the next program will be. Nine surveys were returned.
9/9 answered YES – Did you enjoy coming to the program today?
9/9 answered YES – Did you learn something new?
5 YES – 3 – MAYBE – 1 – NO – Will you come to the library for more materials about Minnesota?
