We just had this information come about activities for children (and adults) scheduled at Danville's Pope Library:

We have two special performers as part of the Summer Reading Program. Jerry Schneider, "The Butterfly Man", will be at the library on Friday, July 1 @ 11am to present his program entitled "Let's Go to Mexico!". Jerry's program is an interacitve talk and slide show that features two amazing stories happening in Mexico. One is about Monarch butterflies migrating into the mountains of Michoacan, their wintering grounds. The other coincides with that migration, and is about Mexican people reuniting with lost loved ones during Mexico's biggest festival - The Day of the Dead. This program is suggested for ages 6 and older. This program concludes with the ever popular butterfly tee shirt craft. Kids can bring their own tee shirts to color or buy one from Jerry for $4.00 (Photo from National Geographic Magazine.)

The Pope Library also welcomes back storyteller Simon Brooks. Simon delighted our audience last year and we look forward to him entertaining us again on Thursday, July 21, 11am in the Danville School Library.

All programs are free and open to the public.
