BETHLEHEM LIBRARY: Mini-golf and more
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

What do you do when the kids have a whole week off of school in the middle of winter? Head to the library, of course! We’ve got fun programs scheduled the entire winter break featuring performances, parties, movies and more. Check out the complete list at www.bethlehempubliclibrary.org or pick up a flyer at the library.

A dragon’s tale

The fun starts Monday, Feb. 18, with a special storytelling event for all ages. In “Bawshou and the Water Dragon,” storytellers Bells & Motley, the husband and wife team of Sondra Bromka and John Bromka, present a traditional Chinese tale of wonder and adventure through costume, dance and music performed on authentic Chinese instruments. The interactive storytelling vividly brings to life the tale of a young boy who bravely sets out to rescue the Sun from its imprisonment by a powerful dragon. With the help of a magic Phoenix, Bawshou must complete three great challenges.

The library will be hosting two performances of “Bawshou and the Water Dragon,” one at 11 a.m. and the second at 2 p.m., along with special participation workshops for children before each show. The event is part of the Ann Seegal Memorial Storytelling series that brings top-level storytelling performances to Bethlehem Public Library. Seating is limited and available on a first-come basis.

Children in grades 2-8 can also be part of the performance by taking part in a workshop to learn how to play the instruments and manipulate some of the props in the show. Workshops are limited to 15 participants. Sign up online or call.
