11:00am A Year With Frog and Toad KIDS! Columbia County Youth Theater presents A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS, adapted from the three-time-Tony-nominated Broadway hit and based on Arnold Lobel’s well-loved books. Part vaudeville, part make-believe, and all charm, A Year with Frog and Toad KIDS tells the story of a friendship that endures throughout the seasons. This whimsical show follows two great friends – the cheerful, popular Frog, and the rather grumpy Toad – through four seasons. Waking from hibernation, Frog and Toad plant gardens, swim, rake leaves, go sledding and, along the way, learn valuable life lessons. At the Crandell Theatre.

At the beginning of the year, the New Lebanon Library invited local students (ages 5-18) to create a new mascot for the library. The winning design, “Calvin the book” created by local 4th grader Logan, was revealed in March, and now we have an update from the library. Calvin now has color and a few minor details (see below), and will soon become a regular fixture around the library.
Secondly, the plush version of Calvin is in production, and the winning designer, Logan, will receive his copy of Calvin and the New Lebanon Library will have their own version for patrons to check out and take on trips. It is the library’s hope that patrons will have many fun adventures with Calvin and share them with the library!
