2009 Neighborhood Arts Schedule at Library is Better Than Ever

A Silver Anniversary is significant in anyone’s book.

Twenty-five years is how long one component of the Metropolitan Library System’s Neighborhood Arts series of Summer at the Library events has taken place.  That’s the children’s theater troupe Lucky Penny Players.  The Lucky Pennies are back again to kick off the Neighborhood Arts programs, and this year they will be joined once more by five other talented groups and individuals to liven up the summer.

“I’m an adult,” confessed MLS Children’s Services Coordinator Lisa Wood, “but I love Neighborhood Arts.  We’ve been bringing this entertainment to kids for so long now, every summer we see new parents who bring their kids to us because their parents brought them to see the shows when they were kids.”

MLS is presenting so many Neighborhood Arts events, the librarians suggest you visit the system website at www.metrolibrary.org to see when programs are scheduled at your nearest library location.  Please call regarding pre-registration before attending any event.

Neighborhood Arts events are co-sponsored by the Arts Council of Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma Arts Council, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
