Library Programs
Storyteller Glenda Bonin
proudly presents two new programs for the
2008 Summer Library Theme
|
"Catch the Reading Bug"
Welcome to the wacky world of stories and puppet fun - guaranteed to delight everyone! This year, Glenda offers two exciting programs for children and families to enjoy and remember. At the end of each show, youngsters will be encouraged to re-tell one of the stories and to find a good book in the library to take home to read.

Beatles, Ants and Butterflies (Oh, My!)
Stories from around the world about the exciting life of bugs and their friends
Join Glenda and one of her popular puppet friends as she tells lively stories about beetles, ants, butterflies, spiders, flies, worms and other small critters. This interactive program will be remembered for a long time to come.

Once Upon a Pond
A fast-paced multicultural story program with a focus on ecology and riparian biodiversity
In this show of stories selected to delight children of all ages, Glenda (and her trusty sidekick) will share information about why it is important to protect the ponds, streams, rivers and wetlands of the world.

NOTE: All of Glenda's programs can be adjusted to accommodate different age groups, and program lengths can vary as desired, from forty-five to sixty minutes. Librarians might want to collaborate by scheduling "block bookings" to take advantage of additional price breaks.
Remember: Travel costs are never "extra" when the artist is touring in your area.
