Ed Popielarczyk's Magic Show! |
Wednesday, August 2 | 11:30 - 12:15 |
Ed Popielarczyk's magic show is a comedy show that uses a lot of audience participation. The kids are the stars because they make the magic happen. Ed usually has lots of trouble! He doesn't just “do a trick” he tells a story that revolves around each trick. It may be a short story or a longer one, but each story helps to bring the trick together.

| | Summer Reading Finale:
Henry the Juggler | Friday, August 11 |
11:00 - 12:00 noon |
Henry the Juggler (AKA Henry Lappen) is wanted! He is wanted by audiences everywhere for his zany attempts to defy the laws of gravity. He juggles any number of balls, clubs, rings, members of the audience . . . He balances strange items on the tip of his nose. Everything is accomplished wordlessly as Henry uses body language (and road signs!) to express himself.
Caution: Henry is known to use innocent bystanders in his act. Register for updates about this event

Summer Reading!
Find Your Voice
|
Can you read more than a librarian? Our fun summer reading game has four teams - children, teens, adults, and library staff - who are competing against each other to read the most books. Go to the library's Beanstack App to log your books to help your team reach the finish line first, or ask for paper reading slips at the circulation desk. Head to the children's room to see which team is ahead on the game board.
Logging books doesn't just help your team. As you log more books, you'll also earn badges for yourself! Don't forget to check out the activity badges, too. You can earn badges by attending a library program, doing outdoor activities, and so much more.
This summer, we're going to Find Your Voice! Let us know your favorite way to express yourself and get ready to have some fun at the library!
The summer reading program was generously funded by the Friends of the Lynnfield Library.
All ages! |
