Library summer reading program begins June 5

The St. Mary Parish Library System kicks off the summer reading program June 5.
Families will enjoy an ice cream treat while checking out their first batch of books.
The theme this summer is Build a Better World.
A summer lineup of professional entertainment will be provided at all seven branches, beginning the first week with an interactive drumming session by percussionist, Elizabeth “Lady Chops” Vidos.
A talented percussionist, this drummer’s off-broadway work history includes the "STOMP" show and "Jesus Christ Superstar."
Incorporating musical instruments from other countries into her performance, she educates and entertains children of all ages with an engaging performance that includes interactive skills and musical instruments.
Future entertainment for the month of June will include performances by David LeBouef, Hampstead Stage Company, Javier Juarez, Matthew Noel, and Roger Day.
Combining magic, humor, and education, magician David LeBouef has enchanted children of all ages with his delightful magic show.
For the past thirty-four years, Hampstead Stage Company has excelled in providing quality interactive, educational performances to their audiences with memorable productions of popular myths, fairy tales, and plays.
The director of Javier’s Dance Studio, Javier Juarez has been a performer and teacher for over thirty years, actively involved in the educational system for the past 28 years, incorporating a multitude of dancing styles for his audience’s entertainment.
Magician Matthew Noel has kept children humored and engaged with his hilarious act showcasing his magic, juggling, and yo-yo skills for over ten years.
Award-winning children’s musician Roger Day ensures his performances are filled with loud songs, high jumps, and big dreams. His witty, whimsical wordplay has entertained and educated children to expressive heights.
