Dustin Pari Presents "Lessons Learned From 'A Christmas Carol'"

Motivational speaker Dustin Pari takes a timeless Dickens’ classic and explores the underlying themes and the dynamic relationships of the characters. Join us on Wed., Dec. 1 at 6:30 p.m. as the audience is transported to a simpler time, all while being shown the truth about themselves and those in their lives. Sure to bring a smile to even ole’ Scrooge himself, Lessons Learned From A Christmas Carol is a great motivational twist on a true classic.

The program is free and open to the public, but registration is required, due to COVID-19 seating restrictions. To register, call 508/946-2470 or email Reference/Adult Services Librarian Libby Fox .

The Traveling Lantern Company Presents, "The Story of Scrooge"

Ebenezer Scrooge is a nasty, mean and snarling old geezer, with no care for anything other than his money. His one and only friend visits him as a ghost, and starts him on a journey that melts his icy heart, and teaches him the joys of caring for, and giving to others.

Join the Traveling Lantern Theater Company on Tues., Nov. 30 at 6:30 p.m., upstairs at the Town Hall (10 Nickerson Ave.) for a program to get everyone into the holiday "spirit."

The 45-minute show will be followed by time for a Q & A with the actors, and is appropriate for all ages. Seating is limited, so registration is required. Call the library at 508/946-2470.

The Traveling Lantern Theater Company has been educating and entertaining children all over the country since 1985. Their mission is to bring great stories to children, to draw them into an active theater experience, to excite their minds and to tickle their imaginations. They invite children from the audience onstage, perform among them, and build their shows to actively involve them in the story. Their plays present important ethical ideas to children on a level that they can absorb, relate to, and consider.

This program is generously sponsored by the Friends of Middleborough Public Library.

If your child is registered for the final session of the year to read with Ms. Marilyn and her credentialed family therapy pets, please remember it will take place tomorrow, Thurs., Nov. 18 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.
