Amazingly, though summer is only mid-way done, I’m in the midst of scheduling all of the library’s children’s programs for the coming school year: storytimes, book groups, craft programs, and outside performers.

And I just spoke on the phone with my number one choice for a performer for this year, Alex the Jester, and he has officially inked us in on his calendar.  For those of you who have never heard of Alex, take a look at his website, especially the video of him performing, and you’ll see why children’s librarians all over the state of Massachusetts write rave reviews about his shows.

Since I know we’ll quickly be at capacity for Alex’s show, I won’t be revealing the exact date and time yet…and registration priority will be given to residents of the town in which I work.

Those technical details aside, I am THRILLED that we were able to book Alex!
