We're happy to welcome back Ventriloquist and Puppeteer Gene Cordova back to the library for the second consecutive year as we kickoff an active summer schedule! Join Gene and his Merry-Makers as they open up your imagination to building friendships and working together! Prepare to meet Tater the Gator, he's always hungry .. er, I mean, looking for a new friend! It will be more fun than a barrel of monkeys .. you might even see a monkey in a barrel. You just never know. Everyone will laugh and learn as Gene uses his unique talents that include Ventriloquism, Puppetry, Comedy Magic, Storytelling, Balloon Antics and LOTS of Audience Participation. Starts @ 2 p.m., Thursday, June 8.
