Page Turner Adventures can keep the whole family entertained

Annie Gilmer

This week’s library column serves as a reminder about one of our special programs this summer: Page Turner Adventures! To briefly summarize, this is a series of videos that you can easily access from our website with a username and password that is listed right next to the link for the videos. Page Turner Adventures is geared towards kids, but can be fun for the whole family with activities to do together; there’s even a printable version of the supply list for the activities so you can be ready when each week’s videos are posted.

Page Turner Adventures is the creation of Jill Ross Nadler and Kenny Mikey.  The series combines stories and steampunk circus in supersized productions that redefine the meaning of audience participation.  Jill plays the intrepid Storyologist, Page Turner.  Kenny is her slap-stick sidekick.  Together, they transform children into Storyologists and send them on comic quests to collect, tell, and write stories.  Viewers become the main character in the story, interacting directly with the actors which enhances their educational experience.

In this eight-week series, there are five days of programming for each weekly theme.  Each week includes:  Show Day (original, interactive shows that are sure to engage kids); Craft Day (simple, fun crafts that inspire creativity); Author/Illustrator Day (short interviews with some of the best creators out there); Mashup Day (recipes, games, bonus crafts and other fun stuff); and Special Guest/Field Trip Day (virtual visits to some amazing places and people including mini-shows from other fantastic performers)!

Content for the week will go live on the Monday of that week so keep an eye out! The first week of videos was posted on June 7, so it’s available now and features “Farmyard Friends”; week 2 will be available starting on June 12 and will focus on “Fish Tales”. To find out more about Page Turner Adventures, and to see the rest of the upcoming themes, visit our website and find Page Turner Adventures under the Classes and Events tab, or follow this direct link: www.bossierlibrary.org/summerexperience-pageturner
