Thursday night the library hosted a great act – Alex the Jester, an internationally known court jester.  Alex put on a fabulous show, keeping the audience riveted and in stitches for a very happy evening hour.  I enjoyed his performance immensely, and laughing that hard was extremely welcome after the less-than-stellar week I’d had. 

To see a video of Alex performing, visit his website at www.alexthejester.com.    To all those children’s librarians out there – or schools, or whoever is in the market for a great performer to bring to your venue – Alex is a class act, professional and easy to work with, and totally delivers a terrific show.  This comment from one of the library’s patrons sums it up best:  “We all had a great time…the kids say that on a scale of 1 to 10, Alex is ‘off the charts!'”
