Juggling schedules: not fun
Summer reading and watching juggler: fun

[June 10, 2013]  The time for juggling hectic schedules is over, but juggling was popular at the Lincoln Public Library on Thursday. The summer program got off to a rousing start when children's librarian Louella Moreland introduced juggler Troy Roark. A packed house of children and their parents were treated to Roark's juggling skills and magic tricks.

Roark, from Springfield, has been a juggler since he was 8 and now does 120 shows each summer at libraries. Roark's father is a magician and has also played the Lincoln Public Library.

"I paid for my college education with my juggling skills, and have played corporate shows all over the world," Roark said. "But doing libraries for children's reading programs is my favorite."

This year's summer program at the Lincoln Public Library is entitled "Have Book, Will Travel," and the Thursday morning shows continue throughout the summer. Parents may contact Ms. Lou at the Annex for information on the program.
