Bethlehem Library Notes for Thursday, July 26, 2018
It’s showtime! Who doesn’t want a little more drama in their life?
Our very own teen volunteer drama troupe, also known as the Drama Llamas, will present a Puppet Show and Storybook Theatre for kids and families on Tuesday, July 31, from 4 to 4:30 p.m. Expect a super fun, interactive show from these talented teens.
Interested in joining the Drama Llama team? Teens can earn volunteer service hours and have a blast while entertaining younger audiences. You can either be part of the storybook performance on July 31, or be a Drama Llama on Camera by recording some video story times for the library website. On Camera sessions take place Thursday, July 26, from 3 to 4:45 p.m., and Tuesday, Aug. 28, from 10-11:45 a.m.
Sign up at www.bethlehempubliclibrary.org or give us a call to see how you can participate. You do not have to be part of the summer volunteer program.
Presto!
What better way to enhance the magic of summertime than with even more magic? Local performer Sam Sam the Magic Man has been earning praise for his menu of tricks, which he mixes in with a dash of audience participation for maximum entertainment.
Enjoy one of two shows on Thursday, July 26, at 11 a.m. or 12:30 p.m. Swing by the library for some entertainment, and get your summer reading on!
