Magic in a Winter Wonderland

This past Saturday was pretty mild, with only a few small scattered corners of snow in the shadows around the Radnor Library... But inside, Magician Steve Woyce inspired imaginations to step into a winter wonderland adventure.

 Every hand in the audience (parents and grandparents were outstanding sports!) formed a snowball and tossed it up front into a magical pan. And then, with one quick movement, the previously empty pan revealed a fully-formed snowman. The giggles took over the room when Steve couldn't find the right magic wand and when he gave his volunteers all kinds of silly tasks and silly props and silly hats. The grand finale was the most delightful surprise... After some entertaining antics, we watched a real rabbit suddenly appear, twitching nose and all!

Winter Wonderland Magic with Steve Woyce

Saturday, January 28 @ 2:00 pm

Join magician Steve Woyce at Radnor Library and journey to Winter Wonderland.  Play Hide & Seek with a penguin, visit a magic candy store, and watch snowmen appear right in front of your eyes!  No registration required!  A $2 donation per person is requested.



Newbery Honor Author wins over Audiences

Gary Schmidt, author of Trouble, Wednesday Wars, Lizzy Bright and the Buckminster Boy, among others spoke to the 6th and 7th graders at Radnor Middle School on April 16. Later that night, Radnor Community had a chance to hear a great storyteller muse on his writings, his experiences with readers and other topics. He later signed books for audience members. After his talk, Board Member, Mark Monjin presented Schmidt with a rare Shakespeare book! Thanks to the Friends of the Library for sponsoring this event. Original music by Dennis Parrish

One Book Every Young Child Program

On March 28 nearly 60 community members enjoyed our "One Book Every Young Child" program. This year the selected book was If You Were a Penguin by Wendell and Florence Minor. Miss Carlson led the group in several songs while Children's Librarian Abbe Klebanoff accompanied on her ukulele. The kids had a blast with the "Iceberg Relay" race, the Fish Toss, a craft and many educational side activities. Thanks to The Snakeoilers for original music!
