Frog Prince - The Play!!

While I was out of town last week, the Lee County Library presented a gift to the community by presenting "The Frog Prince" a play presented By the Porkchop Players of Aiken SC.

We thought the play would be a great kick off for our 2010 Summer Reading Program and the summer readers loved it!! We also invited the entire community to join us and we are glad to report that many did!! We had a full house and everyone just loved the production.

Although the play is designed with young people in mind, many of the sight gags and one liners were aimed at the adults and the entire audiences was helpless with laughter.

We would like to thank our community for their continued support of our programs!!

Now that the Summer Reading Program has been planned, it’s time to reveal the schedule. First off, this week is sign up week. In order to sign up for Summer Reading you must have a library card in good standing. Come to the library this week until Saturday and enroll your child to participate in the “Make a Splash @ the Library” summer reading program - a water related theme.

First up is a special production of “The Frog Prince” which will kick off the summer reading program. We have partnered with the Lee County Arts Council to offer this special program and we invite the community to join us.

“The Frog Prince” is a production of the Porkchop Players a professional children’s theater troupe from Aiken SC. Their interpretation of classic tales include a modern twist and lots of audience participation. Again, we are offering this live theater production to the community and we hope to have a good turnout. For more information, call the library at 803.484.5921 and ask for Brenda or Elizabeth.

Summer is heating up.......

Now that the school year has come to a close, we can concentrate on our summer activities for children and young adults. We are really excited about the Summer Reading Program. This years theme is “Make a Splash @ Your Library” and we are trying to plan our events so we have a water based theme.

First of all, to participate in the Summer Reading Program, you must sign up. The sign up week will begin on Monday June 7th and run until Saturday June 12th. In order to participate you must have a library card in good standing – that’s it! Pretty easy. If your child does not have a library card, this is a great time to get one. All you need is an ID showing that you live in Lee County. Anyone under 18 must have a adult to be responsible for them.

Now to the planned programs! We are so thrilled to be hosting a live theater presentation by “Porkchop Productions.” Founded in 1991, Porkchop Productions is a professional theatre company specializing in audience participation performances. Their interactive approach to their performances make for a one-of-a-kind theatre adventure! They will be presenting “The Frog Prince” on Thursday June 17th at 10:00 AM at the Bishopville Opera House. The performers have taken a well known tale and added a few modern twists as well as lots of audience participation. We hope that this performance will help instill a love of live theater in our young people. There really is no substitute to live theater.
