FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Summer Reading Club Celebration with Peter Puffin
No summer on Vancouver Island would be complete without a BC Summer Reading Club (SRC) party, and this year is no exception! Juno award winning children’s singer/songwriter, Peter Puffin, will be singing, dancing and engaging audiences of every age in many of our branches and communities.
“If you’ve never seen Peter Puffin perform before, you’re in for a treat,” says Vancouver Island Regional Library Librarian, Virginia MacLeod. “His energy is infectious, his messages are encouraging and important, and his shows are a lot of fun. Everyone will be up and dancing from the moment Peter hits the stage to the final song of his set.”
