With Brian Richards

The Magic of Reading is designed to tickle the imagination, highlight the fun of reading, and encourage children to explore the library.

Featuring magic, comedy, audience participation, story telling, and educational fun; this show is guaranteed to be a hit.

The Magic of Reading is perfect any time of the year, but it is especially appropriate when tied in with National Library Week (April), Children’s Book Week, Read-Across America (March), Summer Reading Clubs, and more.
