"Thank you for the fantastic forensics program. As a result of your activity, the kids in our library haven't just watched CSI, they've lived it! If there were any "bad guys" within the vicinity of our building, they'd have been apprehended immediately! But you really enabled the kids to grasp the concepts of forensics and put them to fun and practical use. Thanks again for a decidedly different and enjoyable Vacation Week program."
Children's Librarian, Maynard MA Public Library
