School Performances

READiculous brings the library to your school and makes books come alive. READiculous encourages kids to grab their grownup and visit the library, as well as get a library card of their own.

And here is something else READiculous! We bring our assembly to Decatur schools and it is FREE! Not a Decatur school? Call or email to discuss a field trip to the Decatur Public Library to see READiculous.

Performances Tailored to Grade Level

• Preschool - You might not know that we can also perform for preschool children. We have shortened our show to anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes using preschool favorites!
• Kindergarten-Sixth Grade - We present a 30-minute program geared toward K through 6th graders.
