Description
Are you looking for a fun, energetic, program that uses many volunteers and encourages reading? Reading is Magic is all that and more. Inspired by Albus Dumbledore, “Ed” decided to become “Ed the Wizard.” Using his own collection of magic books and visiting his local library, Ed began to teach himself the art of prestidigitation. Today, Ed the Wizard travels the Northeast performing for schools, libraries, fairs, and private parties.
Reading is Magic demonstrates how inspiration can be found in a book; how a story can change one’s life. Offering his own life story as inspiration to others, Ed the Wizard promotes and encourages the building of reading skills to all of his audience members.
Reading is Magic is a hands-on 45 minute performance that uses many volunteers. The audience is challenged with questions throughout the performance followed with a brief Q&A session.
This program is suitable for all age and grade levels as each performance is adapted for the audience at that time.
"Read Renew Repeat" is sponsored by your local library, the Massachusetts Library System, the Boston Bruins, the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners. This project is funded in full by the Douglas Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
Call or email Debbie (dsoderman@cwmars.org or 508-476-2695) at the library to register.
