Roz Puppets Photos

A fun time was had by all when Roz Puppets visited the Allen County Public Library to perform "The Emperor's New Clothes", part of this year's Summer Reading Program!



Have you read the story of the Emperor's New Clothes? Originally written by Hans Christian Andersen, there are many adaptations available. Visit the library soon to check out some out today!

Roz Puppets are Coming to the Main Library!

This morning at 10:00, the Children's Services department of the Main Library will have a special puppet show featuring the Roz Puppets. The program will be repeated at the Main Library at 2:00 this afternoon and 7:00 tonight. Come and enjoy this creative interpretation as the puppets bring the classic story, The Emperor's New Clothes, to life.

Puppet-palooza!

Last Thursday at our Puppet-palooza Event, a group of creative homeschoolers learned about puppets and how to plan and prepare for a puppet show. Everyone got to pick out a puppet, then they practiced different voices and tried to show different actions and emotions with their puppets. Finally, they rehearsed and then performed a puppet show to the rhyme
Who Stole the Cookies from the Cookie Jar .
