Pros

For a teaching artist or indiviudal in New work who likes to conduct workshops, this is one of the best routes to take ever! The people at the library are always great with assisting the teacher or speaker in setting up or with all help needed. Per hour, the price is excellent! Also, the kids are most often, always a joy.

Cons

If you have any concepts for programs you'd like to present to the library, make sure to get your legal copyrights first. I will leave it at that.
