LINCOLN 

The Lincoln Public Library got their summer reading program off to an exciting start Thursday morning with a performance by perennial favorite, the Hanson Family. This year the summer reading program is titled “Showtime at the Library.”

The LPL has signed up three hundred young readers for the annual program, and has room for more. Adults are encouraged to sign up for the Summer Reading Program also.

There will be Thursday morning entertainment at 10 a.m. for the six weeks, and the library books the best shows.

Juggling pins fill the air.

The Hanson Family always puts on a great show of juggling, unicycle riding, and comedy that has the kids cheering and clapping with delight. They have been booked for 110 libraries this summer in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, North and South Dakota, and Minnesota so that attests to their popularity.

Miss Tegan and Miss Sam head up the Lincoln Public Library Youth Services Department and have an exciting summer reading program in store for the kids.

Christa Faye Hanson holds the Guinness World Record for creating the largest paper snowflake.

The family is so talented that they hold numerous Guinness records. Mark holds the record for fastest juggler in the world, and Christa Faye for creating the largest paper snowflake. Daughter Christa is a national champion unicycle rider.

Families can contact Miss Tegan or Miss Sam at the Lincoln Public Library Youth Services Department 217-732-5732 to enroll your kids for a wonderful summer reading program and spectacular Thursday morning entertainment.
