Children had a great time this week attending April school vacation week events sponsored at the branch library. On Tuesday, cartoonist Andy Fish presented a manga/cartoon workshop to teens and a pair of enthusiastic youngsters. Green Golly‘s Little Kids Little Songs kicked off the afternoon with a well-attended presentation introducing young ones to music, comedy, and theater.
Wednesday featured magician Debbie O’Carroll as Debra Cadabra lost in the Magic Library. Debbie led the children through different styles of literature, incorporating magical interludes that entertained all who attended. Pictured at left is a young audience member assisting Debra in making waffles in her hat.
Rounding out the week on Saturday, solo puppeteer Jonathan Keezing and his Caravan Puppets led the children around the world with tales new and familiar. Here young volunteers assist Jonathan in telling the tale of the 3 Little Pigs.
