We're reading together this summer at the Moberly Library! Kids in grades 3rd through 6th can listen along during this gradeschool storytime every Friday in June and July at 2:00 pm.

📖 Our book: "When You Trap a Tiger" by Tae Keller
🐯 Summary: Some stories refuse to stay bottled up... When Lily and her family move in with her sick grandmother, a magical tiger straight out of her halmoni's Korean folktales arrives, prompting Lily to unravel a secret family history. Long, long ago, Halmoni stole something from the tigers. Now they want it back. And when one of the tigers approaches Lily with a deal--return what her grandmother stole in exchange for Halmoni's health--Lily is tempted to agree. But deals with tigers are never what they seem! With the help of her sister and her new friend Ricky, Lily must find her voice...and the courage to face a tiger.
🏅 This book is a Newbery Medal Winner (2021)

📖 No registration required.
🎨 Coloring sheets and other activities will be provided to entertain listeners.
☁️ Bring a pillow and blanket, or even a beanbag, to make yourself comfortable while you listen!

Coming soon to the historic 4th Street Theatre on Tuesday, June 2nd!
Step back in time with the great music of the ragtime era! The popular duo Cherry and Jerry will bring you well-known songs such as The Entertainer, Alexander’s Ragtime Band, and St. Louis Blues, as well as some rarely heard but wonderful music from days gone by. Fun for the whole family, they focus on ragtime, blues, jazz, and popular music from about 1900-1925, including some classic American tunes to celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary!

The St. Louis duo, Isaac Cherry on percussion and Jerry Rabushka on piano, has toured music of the ragtime era throughout the region, appearing at libraries, museums, pubs and restaurants, special events, and more. Appearances include the Illinois State Fair, the George Washington Carver National Monument, the Cole Porter Festival in Peru, Indiana, and the Backyard Concert Series at Jefferson's Landing in the state capital. This is a free program. No registration is necessary.
