Is there anything more magical than getting lost in a good book? Well, maybe an actual magician. Live from the Library turns the stacks into your new favorite performance venue, bringing entertaining and educational performers – including musicians, animal handlers, dancers and yes, even magicians! – to showcase their talents for children ages 5 to 12. Join us and enjoy the magic!

June 14th - Just Add Rhythm – Adventures in Drumming
Let's go on a sonic adventure and experience rhythm in a whole new way! We'll focus on the sounds of different drums, shakers, and Boomwhackers, and practice turn taking, sharing, and listening skills. Our programs are completely hands-on and interactive; everyone gets to drum! We use evidence-based concepts to encourage communication and social skills in a way that's fun and high-energy. Let's get drumming!
June 21st - Art-Z-Faces (Puppets)
Let's Work All Together on an Adventure with your Fairy Godmother, Dragons, Princesses, Knights and More! It's an interactive Magical puppet adventure presented by Clowns!
June 28th - Jennifer Swanson - Footprints Across the Planet
Take an exciting and interactive journey with award-winning STEM author Jennifer Swanson and learn how every organism, big or small, leaves an imprint on our planet— with their feet, their words, their actions-- even YOU! Whether human or animal, voices or activity, each mark has a purpose. But what does that mean? And how can we help to ensure that our impact will make a difference? Through activities and interactive discussions, together we’ll discover that it’s up to every one of us to decide what type of imprint we will leave behind.
