Happy New Year!
We are now officially more than half way through this decade— Happy 2016, everyone! Here’s to a happy and prosperous new year for all.
The new year brings with it, you guessed it, new programs for our youth audiences.
The Tales of Hans Christian Anderson Hans Christian Anderson told more than Christmas Stories, he penned some of the most beloved fairy tales in the world. Join Hans as he tells, with the help of his audience, some of his favorite sto-ries including (but not limited to): The Ugly Duckling, Thumbelina, The Emperor's New Clothes, and The Princess and the Pea. This program is recommended for grades K-5
I know it’s a whole year away, but we have added to our holiday program-ming, The Christmas Stories of Hans Christian Anderson In this new holiday offer-ing, join Hans Christian Anderson as he brings his delightful Christmas sto-ries to life with the help of his audience. Stories include: The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Little Match Girl, The Fir Tree, and The Snow Queen. Perfect for holiday Lan-guage Arts Lessons. Recommended for Grades K-5 Again, something to keep in mind when you are booking your holiday programs for next year.
The holidays are over, so you know what that means— It’s time to turn your attention to the 2016 SRP! This year’s theme Read for the Win! fits perfectly with our “Let the Games Begin, the Origin of Sports”
program. During this fun filled program, ancient athlete “Discus Meter” will lead audiences through time to discover the beginnings of some of today’s most enjoyable pastimes . The Olympic Games, baseball, football, basketball, ice-skating, and tennis will all be on the audience’s scorecard. This program is suitable for all ages.
But wait! You say you’re not following this year’s theme? You rebel, you! That’s okay too. Histories for Kids, Inc. has more than 40 program titles to choose from. Many of them were written specifically with libraries in mind. Click the link immediately to your right to check out all of our programs. You can also email or give us a call. Tell us your theme,

Educational
Ideas
A man for all ages! Inventor, statesman, and founding father.
He seemed to do it all. Listen as Franklin reminisces about his political
life, writings, and scientific inventions. How has this founding
father changed the way we live our lives today? Great for social studies,
language arts, science ...what educational discipline has Franklin NOT
influenced? May be customized for all ages.
