Ness City Public Library

 Fifty-two children and twenty-two adults attended the Richard Renner/Vodvill Klown program sponsored by the library and held at the United Methodist Church on June 9th. 

The audience laughed, hooted and hollered as Richard portrayed an ‘Ace’ pilot, a bumbling scientist, a master of the Kazoo language, an accordion playing musician and a ‘mad lib’ story teller.  Mr. Renner shared his skills of balancing, juggling, and some all around old fashion ‘vodvill’ comedy.  Of course, he needed assistance from various members of the audience to help him with his feats.  Richard also encouraged the kids to read books so they, too, could learn to be a master of any endeavor they might choose to undertake.

As a partner in promoting literacy, each child was presented a book from the Ness City Public Library.

Thanks to the Ness City United Methodist Church for letting us use the basement for this program.  And thanks to everyone who attended this event, which was a part of our “One World, Many Stories” summer reading program.  More pictures can be viewed on our Face Book page.

First and second grade boys and girls enrolled in summer reading, don’t forget to come on Friday for your “Away We Go – Maybe to Mexico!”  activity day!
