Summer Reading 2025
Read and Bead Returns!
Children
Summer Reading begins on Thursday, June 26th.
At 10:30am, Robert Rivest inspires people of all ages to be more playful, light-hearted and adventurous. A renowned performing artist, Robert uses mime, comedy, improv and interactive stories to humorously highlight this year's Summer Library Theme. Participants get to learn new skills in physical comedy, mime illusion, and improv games. Robert Rivest is a funny man, who sees the world in a very funny way. He is known as "The Human Cartoon” because of his highly expressive face and flexible body. This interactive show is a great way for families to lighten-up, laugh together and make new friends.
After the show, we will have some life size games in the library yard, along with everything you need to sign up for Summer Reading!
