Up, up and away....AGAIN

It was just one year ago that Matt Jergens entertained the people of Amherst with his amazing juggling performance.  Matt has been busy at conferences, festivals, and workshops, sharing the art of juggling and entertaining the crowds.

Today he'll be at the Main Street Community Center, 255 Park Avenue in downtown Amherst, to entertain as part of the library's summer reading program.  Everyone is welcome to join us at 2 p.m. for the program.  But don't leave after it's over.  Matt will be teaching a juggling workshop after the program.  Last year he showed us that all's it takes is a little practice as kids of all ages learned the fundamentals with an array of colorful scarves, balls, plates, and all types of equipment.

This is the summer of Dream Big and if you ever dreamed of juggling, performing magic, or becoming an artist then we've got a class for you.  Thursday, June 28 at 6:30 p.m. is Magic 101 here at the library with Professor Zap and we've just signed on for a four part Drawing 101 series with local artist Mike Leuszler beginning in July.

Hundreds have already signed up for summer reading and are registered for our prize raffles.  Remember our summer reading fair takes place Thursday,  July 12, from 6 - 8 p.m. on the library lawn.
