Curtis's show includes Magic, Comedy, some Juggling, and Duo the Dove. As for the show itself, it's one of those rare presentations that is as enjoyable for the adults as it is for the kids. Like one of those good kid movies where the kids enjoy the show on one level and the adults on another, only unlike a kid's movie, it's live and doesn't have chase scenes, a bad guy, or a talking donkey.

Preschool age kids (3-5) will enjoy stories, songs, and art in this storytime.

This story time and play group promotes literacy in children with the participation of caring family members in activities that explore the world of language using stories, songs, and crafts. Todays theme is "Fairies and Gnomes".

Trying to get your child more excited about reading? Friday Night Family Fun might be able to help.

Curtis Hed uses humor, magic, juggling, and audience participation to share the importance of reading and the ways libraries have played an important part in his life.
