Feedback

• Formal evaluation - survey soon• Informal feedback

• I certainly felt the pace slow down as soon as I walked into the room, which makes for a nice break. Please continue to set up these great activities.

• It was a wonderful mental break from work…the mood in the room was really happy and full of great energy…it was also a great networking opportunity. So nice to meet all the lovely faces that we work with over the phone and via emails.

• Lunchtime Makers was awesome, as usual. And just when I really needed it – cards were the perfect antidote to budgets! Thank you, Libraries awesome people!
