Chilli Bear’s Corner Summer is here, and it’s “Showtime at Your Library!” I plan to explore some new ways of expression this year, starting with polar bear ballet and juggling on water skis. What do you love to do? Humans (and bears) have an amazing capacity for telling their stories through dance, song, theater, movies, games, and more! You can see it for yourself—and get in on the fun! – this summer at the library.
