Everyone is invited to the Children's Room at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library on Saturday, June 8 at 3:00PM to see the amazing, mesmerizing Timothy James, magician extraordinaire. He will dazzle you with his fantastic tricks and I can guarantee that you will constantly be asking yourself: "How did he do that?" Mr. James also has a way of incorporating humor into his magic show to the delight of children and adults alike. You won't want to miss this show! After the show children will want to keep the magic going; so check out the many magic books available at the King Library and the other branch libraries.

This show is part of our Summer Reading Celebration and is sponsored by the Friends of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library.

The library is a great place to learn new crafts. Every month we have craft programs for kids. In March we celebrated Dr. Seuss' Birthday by creating "Cat in the Hat" and ''Red Fish, Blue Fish" crafts, and on March 23rd we'll be making Play Dough in the library. But you don't have to wait for a craft program to have fun learning new crafts. The library has some great craft books that can teach you how to do new and exciting craft projects. Come by the library and check one of them out!
