Which Strategic Plan Response/Goals does this program meet?:

Find, Evaluate & Use Information: Visitors are connected with library resources at every point of contact.

Why will this program be successful?:

I have been trying to tap into our huge group of homeschooled teens for quite awhile now and I hope offering this program during the day will be a good way to get to know them and show them that they are always welcome to teen programs. Book clubs haven't been successful in the past because teens stop coming, but I'm hoping that homeschooled teens' parents will be more involved in making sure they come to the club.

How will success be measured/determined?:

by participation and evaluation.
