A Rabbit In A Hat, And Other Magic At Library
June 25, 2008
Tuesday was a magical day at the Century Library as magician Sammy Smith brought his bag of tricks…and his rabbit in a hat to delight children and adults of all ages.
From coins magically appear behind ears, to sleepy bunnies, to magic rings and ropes to disappearing wedding rings, Smith kept the audience guessing how he performed his tricks.
He told them that he learned magic by checking books out of his local library, and he encouraged the children to read during the summer.
The next installment of the Summer Reading Series at the Century Branch Library will be at noon on Tuesday, July 1 as the library celebrates the Fourth of July in grand style. There will be a watermelon eating contest, a watermelon seed spitting contest, apple pies, pigs in a blanket, a hula hoop contest,, Uncle Sam, the Statue of Liberty, George Washington, and more. The program is for children of all ages and is free. For more information, call the library at 256-6217.
