And anything else that can be put on bread.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For over 30 years, Sander\u2019s puppet shows have been marked by broad humor, slapstick and absurdity that appeals to adults as well as to children in the audience.<\/p>\n<p>To attend the free performance at the library, children should sign up first for the OPL Summer Reading Program, with their parents\u2019 permission, at the library 220 Broad St., or through their school\u2019s librarian.<\/p>\n<p>The OPL Summer Reading Program, using the statewide theme of \u201cDig Into,\u201d includes a weekly program\u00a0on Tuesday\u00a0afternoons at\u00a02:30 p.m.from\u00a0July 16 to 30, plus a final big event called The Mad Hatter\u2019s Tea Partyon Tuesday\u00a0afternoon,\u00a0Aug. 13, from\u00a03 to 5 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>On\u00a0July 16, OPL Youth Librarian Michele Ryan will have the children research pterodactyls, the dinosaurs with wings, and design pterodactyl kites.
