Join us at Almaden Branch Library on Thursday, July 5th, 2012 at 4:30 PM for a music and magic performance with Peter Apel, including his new giant 'dream size' book.

Peter is a singer-songwriter, magician, and creator of fun, original music for kids.

Each appearance includes Peter's special blend of original music, magic, and humor delivered with unique care and respect for the kids.

This show is full of music parents can enjoy along with their children.

This program is part of the 2012 Summer Reading Celebration and is made possible by the generosity of the Friends of the Almaden Branch Library.

I’ve never been sure what the “Z” in Andy Z stands for. Could be zany, because he’s definitely a little of that. It’s obviously not for zzzzz as in sleeping – Andy gets a group of children moving like few other children’s performers, capturing their imaginations and engaging all their senses. He’s shown here in a lively performance at Willow Glen Library on April 9. If you missed it, don’t despair… Andy will be at Vineland Branch Library on April 16 at 11 a.m., at Almaden Branch Library on April 20 at 11:15 a.m., and at Alviso Branch Library on April 23 at 3 p.m. All performances are free. Check out San Jose Library’s April Events Calendar for more details.
