Come have fun at Reader's Theater, for ages 8 - 11. Each month, we'll read at least one short play, and kids get to choose. Every few months, the kids will vote for the one they like best. Then we'll focus on the chosen script to practice, make quick costumes for and the kids that are available will present it at a future Saturday storytime, or during a vacation. All children ages 8 - 11 are welcome, even if they can't attend every month. Come to one session, or come to all! Library staff Elisabeth and Cathie create a friendly, welcoming environment, for kids to have creative fun.
