The Local History and Genealogy division provides a variety of programs and classes in partnership with several local community organizations. This measure reflects the Library's success in building successful partnerships that meet the needs and interests of this group of the public. The measure is a count of the number of persons attending library programs focused on Local History, Archives and/or Genealogy (examples of programs include TCU History Workshops, Fort Worth Genealogical Society Workshops and lectures and unique history-oriented programs on various topics). The target is based on a 2% increase ver the previous year.

Library Staff count number of participants who attend various programs and enter data into monthly reports in the Counting Opinions software. Paul Orr pulls reports named "Gen Programs" from Counting Opinions as needed.

Actual = # of attendees

LV = last year's actual

HV = LV + 2%
