Summer Reading is starting! Come to the Library on Thursday mornings in July for these great programs.
July 10 – Parents Choice Award singer and storyteller, Davis Bates, will present A Summer Reading Celebration! Songs and Stories for All Ages. The program will involve the audience in a variety of cultural traditions. Hear how stars came to be in the sky, how foam came to be in the ocean, and be prepared to sing, move, and clap your hands. The program will include plenty of sing-alongs, as well as a short lesson on how to play music with spoons, and an appearance by an Irish dancing wooden dog named Bingo.
July 17 – Diane Edgecomb presents Game Time! features three topsy-turvy adventures where everybody wins! Diane’s jazzy version of the Tortoise and the Hare encourages reading at your own pace. No matter what your level you WIN BIG in the end. Edgecomb has been featured on NPR and is the winner of the ORACLE award for Storytelling Excellence in the Northeast, five Storytelling World awards, and a Parents’ Choice Silver.
July 24 – Mary Jo Maichack presents Color My World with Tales and Tunes, a lively mix of upbeat and participatory stories for kids (and adults). Sing and clap along, dance, and laugh with Mary Jo as she shares tales.
July 31 – Ed the Wizard presents Pirate Party, an interactive event with pirate-themed games such as “Swab the Deck,” “Hot Cannon Ball,” and “Walk the Plank.” Participants test their pirate knowledge, go on a treasure hunt, and leave the event with their own treasure!
These events are made possible with support from the Worthington Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, The Friends of the Worthington Library, and the Connie Dorrington Memorial Fund.
