Comedy with a Drip is an extremely unique program combining high energy entertainment with artistic achievement. Bubblemania is loaded with visual comedy, quick wit, big band swing music and the untamed, often unbelievable
qualities and beauty of spherical liquids. Casey's creations grow from intricate and imaginative bubble art forms to "trapping" people inside bubbles!

You may get to see a 4-6 foot giant floating sphere, bubbles that bounce, the amazing popcorn machine, the mesmerizing crystal ball, the bubble spacecraft that actually spins and so much more!

Registration is NOT required. Seating is on a first come, first served basis. Casey will be performing in the Community Room. Doors will open 15 minutes before performance time. Please enter through the outside Community Room doors only.

Mercy Watson to the Rescue by Kate DiCamillo

Welcome to the wry and endearing world of Mercy Watson—the beloved "porcine wonder" of the Watson household. In this first episode, the Watsons need rescuing when their bed—after Mercy hops on—begins to slowly sink through the floor. Mercy escapes—"to alert the fire department," her owners assure themselves. But could Mercy have another emergency in mind—like a sudden craving for their neighbors’ sugar cookies?

Registration is not required but highly recommended.  Register online below, by phone at 203-775-6241 or in person at the Checkout Desk.

Please pick up the book from the library prior to Monday, June 24 so that you can discuss it.
