MORELAND THE MAGICIAN

Children and their caregivers are invited to join the Tompkins County Public Library for a magical afternoon, Saturday, February 20 at 1:00 PM in the BorgWarner Community Room.

Popular Performer Moreland the Magician will entertain families with his fun, interactive program "Writing Magic," which helps kids discover the magic of rewriting and revising a simple story.

The entire audience is invited to help Moreland and his puppet friends create a polished story by applying three universal rules of writing. Together, the group will create multiple drafts and marvel at how the story improves with each revision.

"Writing Magic" was developed during the summer of 2009 and has been performed in 40 public libraries. It has become an extraordinary success among young participants and educators.

This free program is best suited for elementary-aged students, but everyone is welcome. For more information, contact the Library’s Youth Services Department at (607) 272-4557 extension 275.
