Library Program Comments

"What a fantastic program! The audience, young and old(er) loved the hour you and your lovely assistant spent at the Statesboro Library. The children were simply mesmerized and everyone made a point of telling me they enjoyed it immensely. The children were talking about it all afternoon. Your funny, kid-friendly, interactive presentations was the best, by far, that we have seen here in several years of performers. In fact, it is one of the best I've ever seen, and I've seen plenty in 20 years of library work! Please accept our grateful thanks for such a library-reading-fun-focused program. I hope that you will come back next year for our big VRP kick-off. Until then...Thanks again!" Elaine McDuffie, Head of Youth and Family Services, Statesboro Regional Library

"I appreciated how professional Chad was! He mailed me a press release with a copy-ready article and photo that I was able to send to the local paper. The newspaper appreciated them as well. We got great publicity for our program without a lot of work on our part. Can't ask for more than that! Our patrons thoroughly enjoyed the performance, I had one mom tell me that he was her favorite performer out of the 6 performers she had seen this summer at the library! His show is very interactive and has lots of audience participation, keeping kids engaged the entire time. This is quite a feat considering he was performing to an audience of over 200 kids and parents!" Amy Rooks, Children's Librarian, Oconee Regional Library, Dublin GA

"The audience at your performance for our VRP program was very enthusiastic about your magic show. We had very positive feedback while they were leaving and also at the library later that afternoon. I especially liked the way that you interwove the emphasis on reading with your show and the way that you highlighted the PINES system. I would definitely recommend your show to other libraries." Kate Barker, Library Manager, Richmond Hill Public Library

"Your magical storytelling was not only engaging, but it was also motivating. This was evidenced by the children's participation and excitement throughout the show. As a children's librarian, I very much appreciated your promotion of reading and the library during your presentations. Additionally, I have heard nothing but positive remarks from both children and parents since the shows. Your presentation fit perfectly with the "Once Upon a Time" theme and I WILL definitely recommend you to others. I hope to see you next year!" Donna Wales, Children's Librarian, Oconee County Public Library, Oconee SC

"We really enjoyed your show again this year. I had several parents stop and tell me how good it was, and that they hoped we would have you back again next year! I would definitely recommend your show to other librarians, or any group for that matter. It is a great educational and entertainment opportunity for all ages." Charlotte Rogers, Library Manager, Jefferson County Library System

"A wonderful and educational program. I was in awe the entire show. The kids are still chanting the 3 things they learned in the show: Reading helps you learn new things, meet new people, and go on many adventures. I am looking forward to having you return for more summer programs. Thanks again!" Tracy Riley, Children's Librarian, Henry County Library System

"Thank you so much for your fantastic performance today. I have never seen that many kids mesmerized for that long. I knew you had them in the palm of your hand when they kept laughing every time you dropped the scarf. It is evident that that kids want to be just like you when they grow up. The parents were just as enthralled as the kids. They could not believe you were a local entertainer. I look forward to having you back next year. Keep up the great work." Pam Link, Children's Librarian, Columbia County Library

"Thanks again for coming to our library. You were great and wowed the kids and parents alike. We had a lot of comments afterward telling us how much they enjoyed the show and how they could go about hiring you for their next event. Your show isn't just a magic show, you combined the element of reading fantastically and encourage kids to read and try out magic for themselves. We'd be glad to have you back anytime! Thomas Shalin, Youth Services Coordinator, Bartow County Public Library
