Sandra Deal Visits Buckhead Library for Magic-Themed Story Time, Summer Reading Program Finale

Deal visited the library Thursday, July 28.

Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System’s Buckhead Library patrons were treated to a special story time when Georgia First Lady Sandra Deal visited Buckhead Library on Thursday, July 28 to read to the branch's youngest patrons during Toddler Storytime. The children enjoyed the story β€œThe Magician’s Hat” after a magic show with The Magic Man in celebration of the Library System’s Summer Reading Program finale, which officially ends Aug. 1.

The Library System’s Summer Reading Program encourages people of all ages to read 10 books (15 for our younger patrons) during the summer months. The program also helps ease the β€œsummer slump” many students experience when they are away from school, teachers and homework assignments and is geared toward keeping minds active and engaged.
