Crafternoon at library
Author: Thays Flores
Planning Unit: Estill County CES
Major Program: Securing Financial Stability (general)
Plan of Work: Individual and Family Development
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Over the last five years library programs per capita have grown at a rate of 6.3%. People are not viewing libraries as just a place for books anymore. Libraries are now offering more programs of all sorts, whether they be technology programs, or small business centers, to virtual access to e-books and digital materials. For this reason, the Estill County FCS agent and the library collaborated to bring a program called Crafternoons at the library. The lessons taught at these programs vary depending on what the audience wants to learn about. A lesson about “spring cleaning” was taught in the spring. For the holiday time, a lesson about having a budget was taught. During mental health month, a program was taught about the importance of mental health and some ways to lessen stress. The participants really enjoy this program because they have a chance to socialize as well as learn valuable information. During a post- evaluation, 100% of the participants have learned some sort of new information during Crafternoon. 85% of the participants have looked or checked out a book at the library because of Crafternoon. 97% of them enjoy Crafternoons because they get to socialize with new people as well as with family members.
