Author Visit: Jarrett J. Krosoczkal – July 21 at 6pm (Ages 6 and Up)
STILL ROOM!! This very special event is not to be missed!!! Best-selling author & illustrator Jarrett J. Krosoczka — whose wildly popular books include the Lunch Lady series, Jedi Academy adventures, Punk Farm, Peanut Butter & Jellyfish, the memoir Hey, Kiddo, and more — will pay us a fun, fantastic visit to talk about his writing and drawing. Highlights include drawing demonstrations and Q&As with the author — kids will leave the event feeling inspired by his enthusiasm and ready to create their own masterworks! Funded by the Friends of the Library.
Traditions of Chinese Acrobats with Li Liu – July 30 at 1pm (All Ages)
We are so happy to welcome back acrobat Li Liu, who delighted our patrons with her solo acrobatic performance a couple of years ago – she’ll mesmerize you with hand balancing, plate spinning, ribbon dancing, and more (plus kids will get a chance to try their hand at some of these skills!). Funded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council (a local agency which is supported by the Mass. Cultural Council).
