program recommendations
by North Adams Library 28 Jun '19

28 Jun '19

We have had some wonderful programs this summer! Joel Tacey was here to kick off our Summer Reading. It was the third time we have had him come to our library. The kids just love him. Paul McCormack came with his Classroom Critters. He is great with kids! Plus, he has all the animals. You might get to see...a bonded pair of doves, a tree frog, Madagascar hissing cockroaches, mice, a chinchilla, a baby possum, lizards, a blue-tongued skink, and snakes. He varies what he brings. This time there were also tiny, rescued birds that had to be fed. He took care of that, or our staff. These were the only ones they were not allowed to touch. Some things they are even allowed to hold. And if they don't want to, he does not force anyone. Yesterday, we had A2Magic here. Jeff Wawrzaszek presented a magic show that was different from Joel Tacey's, but also very much enjoyed by everyone who attended. He engaged the kids and they were eager to volunteer to help with tricks. He even incorporated some of the adults in the room. All were affordable, even for our small library, and all were worth the price. Phyllis ------ Phyllis Rickard Director North Adams Community Memorial Library (zv245) 110 E.
