EVALUATION

The visit to the school was a great success, we saw a lot of children coming to join
the library and they have been spending time with us, the children really took our talk
seriously because they have come in and continued the dialogue of keeping the
books safe, and taking care of library material. The library staff received a warm
welcome from the teachers. Our target audience was grade one’s, but due to the
request from the school HOD we ended up doing the presentation for four grades ie.
Grade one to four. We agreed to do the presentation for the whole school on our
next visit.
