THIS IS A HIGH-DEMAND PROGRAM Ages 4-10 Christopher Agostino’s StoryFaces is an exciting storytelling show in which he paints the faces of audience volunteers to illustrate stories, captivating the audience with these uniquely animated tales. The StoryFace-A-Saurus Show features a new interactive tale “Dinosaurs: Who Knew?” — the story of dinosaurs and how much that story has changed over the years as science makes new discoveries. Also featured are folktales about ancient creatures like crocodiles, sharks and legendary dragons and a special appearance of Godzilla, the King of the Monsters in an original story. Please note that some of the stories may be a little intense for sensitive kids on the younger side of the age range. Use your best judgement as to whether your little one will enjoy this show. There will only be a handful of volunteers that will have their whole face painted as part of the show, but all attendees who want one will have a rainbow painted on their cheek on the way out. **This is a high-demand program! Glen Rock patrons have priority registration for one week, residents of other towns can sign up starting the 23rd.** This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Glen Rock Library
