Join us for our Summer Reading Kickoff! Kids can enjoy the bounce house, face painting, touch a firetruck, games, and more! We will also have a special performance by Jon Sundell. All children and caregivers are welcome. Please stop by at the Registration table to fill out our safety waiver and photo consent form. Bilingual edu-tainer Jon Sundell has been sharing folk songs and tales for over fifty years across the United States and abroad, including thirty-two years as a childrens librarian in Forsyth County. Accompanying himself with guitar, banjo, autoharp, and adorable puppets, he easily engages children and adults with an eclectic, interactive mix of traditional and new repertory, delivered in a warm, inviting style that makes you feel like youre at your best friends birthday party. Jon will be presenting a multimedia program entitled Sizzling Songs and Tantalizing Tales of Dynamic Dinosaurs and Dreadful Dragons. These prehistoric giants and their fantastic cousins have lived large in human imaginations for many centuries, right up to the present day! The stories will present two opposing personalities in dragon lore - the dastardly devil that terrifies villages, from Western cultures; and the splendiferous, magical friend, from Eastern cultures.
