Mr. Richard Sings and Butterflies Fly at the Leesburg Library

It is the last “Big Event” of Summer Reading, so the Leesburg Public Library is planning a special treat.  Nationally known kids’ personality, Mr. Richard, will be bringing his guitar to sing and entertain you with songs like “Bananas,” “Butterfly Day,” and “The Hey Hey Song.”  You will be able to buy Mr. Richard’s CD’s from him following the performance.  Mr. Richard will appear in the Carol Gregg  Meeting Room near the Main Street entrance of the library.

At noon, kids who have won a chance to release a butterfly in the “Catch the Reading Bug” program will gather in the library’s butterfly garden to let their butterflies go.  We’ll also have bubble treats for other kids who show up.

Children must be signed up for Summer Reading to attend Wednesday programs, and must be wearing an orange reading wristband to identify them as Summer Readers.  Sign up is in the Youth Department of the library.  Groups are welcome, but all children must be registered to attend.  The program will start promptly, and doors will close at 10 AM.

Call the library at 728-9790 for information about “Catch the Reading Bug” and other great summer events at the Leesburg Library.
