Results We summarized and analyzed all available program participation and circulation data. We summarized discussions with library patrons who used the PEM and library staff who participated in the program. There is some evidence that the partnership resulted in energy savings, although it is difficult to quantify the amount of energy saved. Almost all of the library staff said the primary reason for participation in the partnership was to obtain energy related resources. About a third of the library staff said the program attracted new library users.
Workshops are the most popular adult programming activity offered in the program.
The adult speaker presentations were not very popular among library staff or library patrons. The information stations had limited impact on library patrons. All of the library staff indicated the children's programs were worthwhile and most of them would like to have another children's program in the future. Library staff mentioned funding, expertise, advertising materials, and organizational assistance as the most important roles that the utility played in the partnership. The following recommendations are logical extensions of key study findings.
