Summer Reading Program

Dig into Florida's Past

Posted Thursday, January 3, 2013 by Ballad of America, Library Vendor

I am offering a new Ballad of America musical history program in 2013 called The Real Florida.

From 1513 when Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon first set foot here through today, the story of Florida is one of land and water and people. Sing along to authentic songs about life in Florida while learning about the diverse people who have called this state home over the past 500 years. Visit http://www.folkmusicforlibraries.com for more information.

This program is a proud partner of Viva Florida 500, a statewide initiative led by the Florida Department of State to highlight the 500th anniversary in 2013 of the arrival of Juan Ponce de Leon to La Florida in 1513. The Viva Florida 500 logo may be used when advertising this program. Visit http://www.visitflorida.com/viva for more on Viva Florida 500.

The Melville Dewey Show

Library Advocacy for Kids

 

After pursuing a Masters in Library Science, the storyYELLER is back! Crafted with humor, manic rhythm and oodles of wackiness, the storyYELLER is sure to knock your socks off.  His style has been labeled as pioneering, hysterical and action-packed. The storyYELLER doesn't spin yarns. Never did learn how to sew.  Instead, he slangs stories, songs and poems in a playful, unique, hip and hilarious fashion.

 

During his studies, the storyYELLER learned about a librarian named Melville Dewey.  Turns out Dewey was not only a legendary librarian, he was a hip hop recording artist too!  This storyYELLING program teaches children about the many resources available in libraries, introduces them to the Dewey Decimal System and emphasizes the need for libraries in our communities.  Complete with book turntables, a rapping book drop and Melville Dewey library card souvenirs, this program is sure to bring down the house!  Some of the entertaining and educational songs and stories included in this program are:
