Comedy Showcase Kickoff! 

Thursday, June 4 | 6:30-8pm

Katie's Korner | Library Lawn | Drop

 

Billy Ray Bauer has performed stand-up comedy for 20 years. From skewed stories of growing up in Detroit in the sixties to gory details of raising four boys, he'll have you laughing & exhausted from his ordeal. Now add some unusual  vocal acrobatics including impressions and dialects - it's a show you won't want to miss!


Made possible by the Friends of Chelsea District Library 
and in partnership with Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase 
and Sounds & Sights.


 

There's still time to turn in your Summer Reading Registration Card!


 

Parents! Do you still have your child's Summer Reading registration card that was sent home from school? Make sure to fill it out and drop it off here at the library before our program kickoff on June 10! Have questions about registering or this year's program? Stop at the youth information desk on the 1st floor, we're always happy to help!
