How & why does this program meet the goals of the MLS?: 
Parent-child bonding is the single most important predictor of a child's success.

Furthermore, the content of the program will promote early literacy and library materials.

Satisfy Curiosity: Your libraries are centers that offer access to civic, cultural and community enrichment opportunities.
Why will this program be successful?: 
It is scheduled to coincide with father's day, so dudes will be looking for something fun to do with their kids. Additionally, story times are popular programs and tend to attract a crowd.
