(Virtual) Tales from "A Christmas Story"
2020-12-20 16:00 - 16:30
Via Zoom. For All Ages.
The Library is excited to announce “Tales from A Christmas Story,” a virtual reading taking place via Zoom. The reading is based on the autobiographical musings of author Jean Shepherd – and famously made into the 1983 film about Ralphie Parker and his quest for a Red Ryder BB gun. Join us for this humorous and heartwarming recounting of the Parker family’s Christmas-time experiences in small-town Depression-era Indiana. Only instead of gathering around your radio to listen to stories like in olden days, your family will be gathering around the computer screen!

The reading will be performed by James McGowan, a professional audiobook Narrator, Editor and Director. James has worked for the past 6 years for Jewish Books International, which provides audiobooks for the blind and reading impaired.

Please register below to receive your Zoom link, which will be emailed the day before.

Space is limited and masks are required. Please register family members below.
Materials will be provided if we meet in person. If held via Facebook Live, please see materials list below.
Materials List:
8.5″x11″ piece of paper.
This is your standard copy paper size. Regular paper works fine, but I like card stock because it’s a little sturdier. Use whatever you have. If you use plain white paper, let your kid color bright designs all over it before beginning the project.
A wooden skewer. A straight drinking straw works too.
Kite string. You can find this at a lot of department stores. If not, almost any strong but light string would work. Quilters’ string is about the right thickness. Yarn may be too heavy, sewing thread too light. Fishing line is light but strong.
Ribbon. Most wide ribbon would work fine. I like using surveyors tape (available at hardware stores) because it’s made of plastic, which is lighter (for a longer tail!) and durable. Surveyors tape comes in bright fluorescent colors that kids like.
Scissors or hole punch.
Tape.
