Join us as the Summer Reading Club kicks off with a performance by SPL favorite Jungle Jim!

The Wild About Reading Balloon Magic Show combines
balloon artistry, magic, comedy, and improvisation to create an amazing
experience for children! The children are given a series of safari
adventure challenges, which are interactive performance pieces that will
help them train to be safari adventurers. If they pass the challenges
(which we know they will!), they will get to see a fantastic finale that
will blow their minds. Jungle Jim uses over 100 balloons in this
performance.

This program has been funded by of the Friends of the Library - thank you!
