Youth Summer Reading Event

Join us on Wednesday, July 12, 2023, for Luce Puppets presents The Emperor and the Nightingale.

Handcrafted puppets, original stories, live, interactive performances, and child-approved fun are all signature trademarks of a Luce Puppet Company show!

One of Hans Christian Anderson’s most enchanting and beloved tales, The Emperor and the Nightingale tells the story of a Chinese Emperor blessed with infinite treasures who is enchanted by the sweet, beautiful singing of a simple garden nightingale. When the Emperor is given the gift of a bejeweled and clever wind-up nightingale, he forgets all about the garden nightingale, who flies off. What will it take for the Emperor to realize that this modest, little bird was his greatest treasure?

For youth in Pre-K through grade 5, the show will begin at 10:30 a.m. in the Youth Room.

Assisted Listening Devices (ALDs) are instruments designed to amplify sounds to make it easier for persons who are hearing‑impaired to enjoy a library program.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity of the City of Palm Springs, should contact the ADA Coordinator, as soon as possible but no later than 48 hours before the scheduled event.
