MISTER JAZZZ THE AMAZING BALLOON MAN

JUNGLE JIM AND HIS "BUGS"

 


Jungle Jim not only brought bugs to the Library, he brought spiders, centipedes, scorpions, snakes and other creepy, crawlers.  This very informative presentation is one of our favorites and obviously everyone else's too as the Library was packed wall to wall.

SNAKE ENCOUNTERS

Approximately 300 people attended the first performance of the 2008 Library Summer Reading Program.  Daryl Sprout entertained the crowd with several species of snakes, a very large lizard, a little bit of magic,
and a whole lot of valuable information about snakes.  This very informative program is one of our favorites.
