music for kids @ THE LIBRARY!

Singer, song-writer, Andy Mason, will be bringing his special brand of music to the Loma Colorado Main Library on Wednesday, June 4 at 2:00. Kicking off the library’s summer reading program, “Catch the Reading Bug,” Andy will have children and parents hand clappin’ and foot stompin’ to his engaging original tunes, songs like “Everybody Likes Pizza.” You’ll know you’re in the right place (auditorium) if you see someone “not old,” but “tall,” and “skinny” (Andy’s own words)singing and playing the guitar.

This and many other original stories will be presented when Indiana Bones, aka Mike McCartney, a talented and creative performing artist spins his tales of bugs and other fascinating critters.
