Update on Ringling Bros Reading Program



Due to the increased interest and the wonderful Salisbury Post Article about the Clown coming to the library, we will be registering kids ages 2-12 and issuing vouchers after they have read and reported on 5 books through February 2nd. 

The Circus will be in Charlotte from Jan. 30- Feb 3, so make sure you let parents know that they are recieving a voucher and not a ticket.

Parents will need to bring the voucher to the box office, purchase an adult ticket and redeem the voucher for a free children's ticket.  If the show is sold out, a ticket can not be issued!

Registration is required and the selected book will be available at the time of registration.  Children can sign-up three weeks prior to the date of the program at any location.
