On Wednesday, May 28 at 11:00 AM, Bonzo Crunch, "Fool at Large," returns to the Blanco Library to help us kick off our Summer Reading Program with some guaranteed clowning around! All ages are welcome! Admission is free! And we're not joking, well, maybe a little! See you then!

As a lifelong "bookworm" Bonzo Crunch takes special joy in
performing for libraries. In addition to his popular comedy
juggling/magic show, Bonzo Crunch emphasizes not only the
importance of reading, but also the value of the library as a
community resource and the special role of the librarian as a
liaison between the community and the wonderful world of books.

You will be charmed by his reading of "Olivia Saves The Circus".
As a former teacher’s aid at a Montessori school, Rik Gern, aka
Bonzo Crunch, is sensitive to the needs of the young ones as
well as their caregivers, so he begins his performance on the
mellow side, with a gentle musical introduction. As all the children are brought into the fold, Bonzo Crunch escalates the comedy and allows them to laugh off excess energy before bringing his show to a calm conclusion, leaving parents, teachers, and staff with a group of happy, well-behaved children.
