Hi all,
Los Angeles Public Library is working with the LA County Music Center and the LA Times to produce a series of children's programs called, "Performing Books." We are going to feature an art form and have performers "act out" the books that are read. For example, jazz artists will perform to Chris Raschka's, "Charlie Parker played be bop." This is just one way we are hoping to bring the arts and literature to youngsters. If you have some good ideas for books that can be read and performed let me know. If this project works then other systems might want to adopt it for their libraries. If anyone is interested I will be happy to share our experiences. Thanks to you all!
