Area Libraries Host Fun Programs for KidsPhotos/text by Sandi Fahy
JoAnne Howard, head of Youth Services at the Clearwater Main Library, standing at back, looks on as (from left) Macy Whitaker, Morgan Whitaker, Anthony Grams, Nicholas Young and Matthew Young (behind Nicholas) try catching the ball in the cones they made during a recent "Read All About It" crafts session at the library. The youngsters formed a cone out of newspaper (most chose the colorful comic section), attached a small ball to a length of string, then glued the string to the bottom of the cone to make their "cone catch" game.

The duo, who are known as the Earthlings, employed unique instruments, comedy and special effects in their show. Their electric washboard band, which boasts a variety of instruments, was a highlight of their presentation. |
