Summer Reading Kickoff with Tom Sieling
Saturday, June 27 | 11:00 a.m.
Join us at the Roeliff Jansen Community Library for our Summer Reading Kickoff with musician and storyteller Tom Sieling on Saturday, June 27 at 11AM! Tom has delighted children and families across 14 states with his energetic, interactive performances full of music, movement, and laughter. Accompanied by guitar, banjo, and upbeat rhythms, Tom leads audiences through fun participatory songs that are sure to get kids singing, dancing, and even moving a little athletically.
This year’s Summer Reading theme, “Unearth a Story,” comes to life through songs about dinosaurs, animals, and the natural world, along with fascinating facts and colorful stories woven throughout the performance. Tom’s lively show encourages a lifelong love of reading, music, libraries, and outdoor adventure. Perfect for children and families of all ages, this free program is a joyful way to celebrate the start of summer reading at the library.
