Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Please join me in welcoming the librarians back from their furloughs! You
all have been missed and we hope you are well. I’m not sure who is happier
to have you back – Library Director Ginny Johnson or the rest of Hanover.
:) Glad to have you back in our midst – if even from a distance!
The John Curtis Free Library is offering video programming for children and
families by performers who would have visited us in person this summer.
All of these performers have visited our library in past years and have
been very enthusiastically received by audiences. Here is the lineup with
links to the videos, all of which may be viewed at any time through the
month of August.

Science Tellers
“Dragons: Return of the Ice Sorceress”
http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=1CPM2vDokVWsM4n18kipD8/USoOK9jjTh8HS6IYEOeVoqLt7nDM4RqoN783ZLADJ
Long, long ago, two kids go on a daring adventure to find a dragon and save
the kingdom from the Ice Sorceress! When things don’t go as planned,
however, they must turn to themselves (and to science!) for the answer. A
fun fantasy adventure with dry ice effects!
Since 2004, Science Tellers has been providing children and their families
with fun, experiential science education through the art of interactive
storytelling.
This program is funded by the Friends of the John Curtis Library.
Ed the Wizard

http://atotw.com/maillist/lt.php?tid=MGrOSs1nTPuIfIJ0iKnLp8/USoOK9hjTh8HS6IYEOeVoqLt7nDNoRqoN783ZLADJ
Ed’s performance incorporates many amazing magic tricks while emphasizing
how inspiration can be found in a book. He encourages the importance of
building reading skills, including demonstrations of how audience members
can re-create some of his magic themselves. This summer’s program is full
of fairies, dragons and other mythological creatures. Learn about Ed the
Wizard’s own story, his magical journey and how he became a wizard.
This program is funded by the Friends of the John Curtis Library.
