Stories, songs and silliness for preschoolers, but all ages are welcome!
Latham Library is proud to present Modern Times Theater on June 19 at 4:00pm. Bring Dad or Grandpa to see “The Perils of Mr. Punch” episode #63, “Oceananigans Abound!”
This updated classic follows the troubles and travails of puppetry’s favorite loudmouth, Mr. Punch. The skillfully operated hand puppets are made of garbage and up-cycled material, and are chock full of surprises and tricks, as is the elaborate stage. It’s a low-tech old-time spectacle, entertaining to children of all ages: from one to one hundred. By taking the best from the long tradition of Punch and Judy shows, and bringing the art form into the 21st century, this classic remains alive, vital, and hysterical to both children and adults today.
Sign-up for the 2022 Summer Reading Program will be available. All ages are welcome and the show is free! This event is part of the Thetford Libraries “Oceans of Possibilities” summer reading program.
UPDATE: due to high winds this show has been moved inside to the Latham Library Community Room, on the lower level of the building.
Thursday, June 23 and then Tuesdays at noon through August 9, weather permitting. All ages welcome! Meet at the gazebo by the lake.

During Sarah’s turbulent childhood in Kansas in the 1980s and 1990s, she enjoyed the freedom of a country childhood, but observed the painful challenges of the poverty around her; untreated medical conditions for lack of insurance or consistent care, unsafe job conditions, abusive relationships, and limited resources and information that would provide for the upward mobility that is the American Dream. By telling the story of her life and the lives of the people she loves with clarity and precision but without judgement, Smarsh challenges us to look more closely at the class divide in our country.
Beautifully written, in a distinctive voice, Heartland combines personal narrative with powerful analysis and cultural commentary, challengingthe myths about people thought to be less because they earn less.
All are welcome and we look forward to seeing you. Please be vaccinated and masked if you plan to attend in person.
