Library Shows

Ann Lincoln has been a perennial performer at libraries in Colorado since 1996. This entertainment is designed with library needs in mind. The show will be made age appropriate for your particular patrons and references to reading, books and any special themes will be included throughout the presentation.

"Make a Splash @ your Library"

Hijinks on the high seas including juggling, magic, comedy and Ann's performing pets

For this performance Ann Lincoln will don a comical pirate costume and entertain in front of a backdrop painted to look like a ship's deck.

Ann will show the kids how reading and persistence made it possible for her to learn to juggle pirate swords and cannon (bowling) balls.

She will also reference the books she studied to teach the tricks performed by her pirate-bird/dove and first-mate/best-friend puppy-dog.

And even the adults will be searching through your magic book section to try and figure out how Ann could pour endless amounts of water from an empty bucket.

• As always the entertainment will be designed with library needs in mind.
• The show will be made age appropriate for your particular patrons (usually great for 2 -12 year olds, but can be adjusted as needed).
• And references to "Make a Splash @ your Library" will be included throughout the presentation.

"We so enjoyed the Family Variety Show that you performed for us last week for our New Year's Noon celebration. There were over 270 people in attendance and we received many positive comments from our patrons, both verbally and written.

The humor was appropriate for all ages and, of course, the juggling and magic were superb. The bird and bunny were definite highlights for the kids!

We always enjoy your performances and look forward to working with you again in 2005." Laura Olson Youth Services, Smoky Hill Library

"The combination of humor and magic that you inject into your act was much appreciated by all the giggling, smiling children. Our goal is to bring children into the library and teach them that it is a fun and exciting place. I am certain that toward this end, you helped us serve our purpose. I can highly recommend you for other children's library programs.

Our word-of-mouth advertising since you were featured has been excellent. I want to thank you for your contribution to the success of our Summer Reading Program." Ann Sinton Programming and Youth Librarian, Vail Library
