Built for libraries, not squeezed into them

- Flexible for your space. Children's rooms, meeting rooms, auditoriums, community spaces, or an outdoor lawn.
- Easy on your staff. Tyler brings the show, the sound system, and everything needed to perform, with fast setup and clear communication from booking through showtime.

Good questions
What librarians usually ask.
Still wondering about something? Call or text Tyler at (540) 227-7678.
What does a library program cost?
Pricing is customized by audience size, format, and location, and it is quoted to fit a library budget. If you are booking more than one branch, ask about multi-branch tour pricing, which brings the per-show cost down. Send your dates and details and Tyler will send back one clear quote, usually within one business day.
Is this a good fit for Summer Reading?
It is one of the most requested programs of the summer. The show is built for a mixed all-ages crowd, ties naturally into reading and imagination themes, and reliably packs the room. Libraries book their summer dates early, so the sooner you reach out, the more of the calendar is open.
How many people can the show hold?
Anywhere from an intimate branch program to a few hundred at a large summer kickoff. Tyler brings his own professional sound, so the show carries whether you are in a small meeting room or a packed community space. Tell him your expected turnout and he will make sure it plays to the whole room.
What is the kids' workshop, and what ages is it for?
The Show + Workshop Combo pairs the full family show with a 30 to 45 minute hands-on magic class for kids roughly 8 to 12. Each child learns three to five real tricks they can take home and perform, which makes it a natural fit for summer reading and STEAM programming.
What does Tyler need from the library on the day?
Very little. He needs a clear performance area with the audience seated facing him, and access to set up shortly before the program. He provides the show, the professional sound system, and all equipment, so there is no stage or tech to arrange on your end.
Can Tyler do multiple branches or shows in one day?
Yes. Tyler regularly runs multi-branch summer tours and can perform several shows across a day or a week. He handles the scheduling logistics so booking a whole system is simple, and multi-branch pricing applies. One library booked six shows across five branches in a single summer.
