Sterling Public Library Summer Reading Program Kickoff May 28

***Press Release***

Join us for the Summer Reading Program kickoff on May 28th at 7 p.m. at the Sterling Public Library.  Ann Lincoln as a kooky cavewoman and her magical pets will encourage kids to “Dig into Reading”.

Imagine if you walked into your local library and saw a crazy cavewoman reading a magic book that looked like it might be on fire!  Now imagine that her rabbit suddenly appears out of nowhere and her pet dog is performing silly tricks.  Finally imagine that she starts to throw bowling balls over her head!  You won’t have to imagine if you come to the Sterling Public Library on Tuesday, May 28th at 7:00 PM for Ann Lincoln’s Dino Girl Show.  Ann’s juggling, magic and comedy performance will be a big part of the fun for this summer’s “Dig into Reading” theme.  The show is free and open to everyone.

“Dino Girl is one of my all time favorite characters to perform,” says Lincoln.  “I get to be someone completely wacky and so different from who I usually am and my imagination just runs wild!”  Ann says that she hopes that seeing a full-grown woman being so extremely creative and enthusiastic about a subject will inspire the kids to use the library’s resources to learn more about their favorite things.  To that end, Ann will provide a suggested reading list to all interested audience members after her performance.  She has included possible subjects from the show to explore further, some juvenile appropriate titles to check into and more than a dozen books that she herself read in order to prepare for that day’s entertainment.

“I firmly believe in the goal to keep children reading and learning all summer,” Ann enthuses.    “I feel very lucky to get to use my time, energy and talent toward that goal.  Children who join a summer reading program at their public library keep their brains stimulated and go back to school in the fall ready to learn more.  And that’s good for everyone!”

Ann Lincoln has been a full-time professional entertainer for nearly 30 years.   She will be performing at libraries all across Colorado (and beyond) this summer.
