Ensure a Welcoming Experience: Visitors are welcomed into an atmosphere of hospitality, exemplary service, and friendly interaction.
Why will this program be successful?: 
With the recent success of our evening children’s programming, I believe this program will be a success. The event will be included in the Downtown “Movement in the Library” marketing to reach a large audience.

Success will be determined by attendance but also by parent’s reactions to the program.
