Library to Host “Reading, Rhythm and Rhyme”

Tompkins County Public Library will host the final program in its celebration of Summer Reading 2017 with “Reading, Rhythm and Rhyme,” a family-friendly, interactive program facilitated by Judy Stock, Monday, August 21 at 11 a.m. in the Thaler/Howell Programming Room.

“Reading, Rhythm and Rhyme” combines Stock’s musical talents and love of reading and encourages children to nurture their imaginations by exploring the world of books. Stock will use poetry, tongue twisters, songs and instruments to help the audience discover the joy of reading.

Stock has been a musician for more than 30 years, sharing her talents with audiences across the United States, including annual performances at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. She has created, produced and starred in two children’s television shows, “Jammin’ With Judy and Jerry” and “Miss. Judy Presents: Music and Motion,” and teaches early literacy through music in dozens of libraries, schools, churches and festivals each year.
