Uncle Remus Due at Library
John Hinkle, storyteller and puppeteer, will bring Puppet Alley to present Brer' Rabbit and the Uncle Remus stories to the Grove Public Library Monday, June 26, at 2 p.m. Children of all ages are welcome to this presentation of the Summer Reading Program.
Please note that the date is Monday, June 26, which is a change from the original schedule. Hinkle's Puppet Alley will bring both hand and shadow puppets to help a modern day grandfather tell his grandson the Uncle Remus tales he himself heard as a youth. "People always tell me what a good storyteller I am," Hinkle said. "And I always have the same reply for them. If you chose a story that's been around for a hundred to a thousand years, it should be good for another 45 minutes."
When Hinkle was asked what is in store for his future, the retired librarian said, "Next year will be 50 years of puppets, so I'm going to hang up touring with all the stages and equipment. With the Oklahoma Centennial upon us I thought a rousing puppet melodrama would be good to close with in 2007, so I'm doing "How Straight Shooter Saved Sweet Sal, and the Oklahoma Seal from the Vilest Villain in the Whole Wild West."
Three more summer reading programs are on the library schedule:
June 29, Thursday, at 2 p.m. Kevin Wade and Wild Safari Magic
July 12, Wednesday, at 1 p.m. Mark Ogle, The Dog Creek Stage Coach Robbery
July 18, Tuesday, at 1 p.m. Paul Pharris, juggler.
