Testimonials

Chris was a good fit for our program. Her knowledge, expertise, and advice helped us to put out a professional-looking product. Chris went over our work, helped us add what was needed, and emailed clear instructions and contact information for any further questions or concerns we may have. She was great at communication, making sure we understood what was done and could duplicate the work. The time saved and the quality of the final project was a huge win for our library. I highly recommend Chris as a volunteer/expert! We can't thank Chris and Catchafire enough!

Short Video Creation Training Project

Kathy and the staff were great to work with. Kathy especially was communicative and responsive to emails and calls about scheduling time to review segments of the project, which made the whole process run smoothly. I recommend volunteering your expertise to Whitman County Library - they are great to work with and are doing interesting things for the community.
