A rainy morning brought 120 library friends to learn about and enjoy yo-yos and spin tops! Valerie Oliver, one of the foremost yo-yo champions, captivated her audience with a dazzling display of virtuosity with this classic toy. In addition to the tricks she performed, she gave a brief history of the yo-yo and explained the laws of physics that applied to each display. Children and adults alike expressed amazement as Mrs. Oliver spun, flippped, and twirled her yo-yos with practiced dexterity. It was a program we will not soon forget!!
Five fortunate children received yo-yos from our weekly drawing! We predict many summer hours devoted to dribbling, spinning, flipping and twirling those yo-yos!
Next Week: Thursday, June 26 @ 10 am...Reading with the Ringling Brothers!
