Hi Tabitha,
Below is a listing of child/family programs and teen programs that will be taking place this month at libraries within the Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Library System. This does not include all of the individual children's performers that I have scheduled for Summer Reading (otherwise it would be a massive email). If you do want a full schedule of children's performers let me know and I will send it to you separately.
Thanks, and please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information about any of this or anything else library related.
