Project Overview
Read Under the Big Top Summer Kick-Off started on Wednesday, June 11th with the children being able to sign up for the summer reading program. Our kick-off performer was Ann Sawyer-Aitch performing a puppet show about her book "Nalah the Pink Tiger." After the performance the Sibley County Dairy Princesses served root beer floats on our patio to the children who wanted one.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

By show of hands we will determine that 90% of the participants will have fun at the library, 50% of the participants will learn something new, 50% of the participants will want to learn more about the subject, 70% of the participants will want to come back to the library for more programs.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The children enjoyed the puppet show with the different characters, and the interaction with the audience. The adults liked that the puppeteer came out from behind the puppet stage and interacted with the children and was a character in the performance also. Parents and caregivers enjoyed the program also. 100% enjoyed the performance, about 45% learned something new, about 50% asked if we had the book, about 90% asked what and when the next program will be.
