Magician the Amazing Lou returns to the Wiscasset Public Library on Wednesday, July 25, at 3 p.m.

Participants in the 2012 Children’s Room Dream Big – Read Summer Reading Program are invited to be wowed as Amazing Lou performs his magic and balloon show. A second-generation magician, Amazing Lou will have the audience asking, “How did he do that?”

Two familiar faces from the Wiscasset Primary School are coming to the library.

On Friday, July 27, at 3:30 p.m., first grade teacher Donna Footer will read “Cloudland” by John Burningham. “Cloudland” tells the story of Albert, who tumbles off a cliff while hiking in the mountains with his parents. Albert is saved by the cloud children and has a wonderful time in the sky with them. That is, until he remembers his mother and father and his own little bed at home.

Tracey Jackson, with help from her trusty assistant Corey Campbell, will read “Tacky the Penguin” and “Three Cheers for Tacky.” Both of these books are written by Helen Lester and illustrated by Lynn Munsinger. Tacky is an odd bird who marches to his own drum in these hilarious tales. If the weather is nice this event will be outdoors behind the Children’s Room, so audience members may want to bring a blanket to sit on.

All events of the Children’s Room Summer Reading Program are open to the public and free of charge.
