Kaye Byrnes Storytelling for Summer 2012

Posted Monday, December 12, 2011 by Kaye Byrnes, Library Vendor

Kaye Byrnes Storytelling has toured libraries throughout Florida, taking part in the statewide summer reading program since 1997.   This summer, Kaye will delight your young patrons with stories that nurture a love for reading, sharing stories and characters that can be found on your shelves and taken home. Dream Big, Read offers endless possibilities for stories that engage, educate and entertain.

Don't delay as my summer calendar will fill quickly with libraries and camps. Super System Discounts are available for multiple programs within the same area, so let's coordinate amongst your branches, save everyone some money and share stories with children throughout the county.   You can find me on the web at www.kayebyrnes.com or contact me at kaye@kayebyrnes.com

Look forward to hearing from you ... in the meantime, happy holidays and may 2012 bring better times to our public libraries!  Many thanks to all of you who dedicate yourselves to what you do in spite of such challenging circumstances.

The Tampa Taiko Japanese Music and Cultural Outreach Program is booking shows for the 2011 Collaborative Summer Library Program: One World, Many Stories.

 

I have performed at festivals, schools, summer camps, libraries and on-stage at performing arts centers throughout the southeast.  I'd be delighted to visit your location to provide a fun-filled hands-on, interactive program about Japanese culture through playing taiko drums and other Japanese instruments such as the shakuhachi and tetsu-zutsu.

Shows are 40 minutes - 90 minutes, and I am available to book the above dates and throughout 2011.

You Otter Go Fishin' with Mrs. Kate

Posted Thursday, January 7, 2010 by MrsKate, Library Vendor

Puppet Ozzy the Otter joins “Mrs. Kate” to make a splash at your summer reading program this summer.  Playful Ozzy “swims” through the audience, selecting participants to “fish for a song” behind Mrs. Kate’s unique “fish quilt ocean”.  The fishing pole dangles for a moment…IT’S A BITE!; and we’re hauling in a huge catch of delightful, interactive songs in the unique “Mrs. Kate” style that kids and parents love.  One hour of family-friendly fun, suitable for all ages.

“Mrs. Kate” Carpenter, folksinger, songwriter & Storyteller, Florida State Touring Artist

Available Weeks for Touring: June 14, June 21, June 28

"Mrs. Kate" Carpenter, now booking for Summer 2010

Posted Monday, December 14, 2009 by MrsKate, Library Vendor

Hello librarians,  As you begin to make plans for your summer 2010 FLYP shows, please consider me as a performer.  Here's a quote from Sherry Durham, Youth Librarian at Central Ridge Library in Beverly Hills, FL:

"The children were entirely caught up in your high-energy, original and educational presentation.  The great deal of well-planned audience participation could have been one of the main reasons that the students got so much out of the experience.  We all loved the bi-lingual aspects of the show, and your very humorous songs were outstanding."

The only weeks I will be scheduling performances this summer are:  June 14, June 21, and June 28.
