The wonderful world of reading
In a continuing effort to promote literacy, students at the elementary
school were treated to a special guest performance by magician Tommy
James. The high-energy combination of music, sound effects, jokes and an
overall message of the importance of reading and the valuable resources
a library has to offer was a learning opportunity for the K-5 students.
At the end of his performance, all the students were asked to stand and
take the “Readers Oath” to read each and every day. He then surprised
them with the magical appearance of a live bunny on stage.
“As always, we want students to know that reading can be fun,
educational and relaxing all at the same time,” said librarian Selinda
Stout. “The experience taught them that books help us to discover the
world around us.”
