The staff at the library is getting ready for our Summer Reading Program. Our program will begin with story time at 10:30 on Thursday, June 1. Then at 1:00, Barry Mitchell will arrive with the Friendship Adventure Show. Sam the Turtle, Mr. Barry and Hyena the Chicken are three friends working together for laughs. Their adventure includes magic, puppets and funny stuff. With all these guys in one van, they are learning about kindness, compassion and loud snoring. See them live at your library for more than a van load of adventure.
