IT'S ALL ABOUT PUPPETS


A Word from Our Director, Holly Phillips:

     We now have another statewide pass available for patrons to check out.  It's the "Passport to Puppetry" for the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta.  http://www.puppet.org/

     According to the GPLS, "the Passport to Puppetry is valid for up to four free museum admissions - a potential savings of up to $33 per family.  Parties with children must include at least one adult.  The museum provides educational fun with more than 350 puppets from around the world, highlighting the fact that every civilization on our planet has its own unique form of puppetry tradition.  By examining and learning more about the cultural traditions of other countries, one gains a greater understanding of our shared histories and values."

     The Passport provides free admission to the museum only.  It enables patrons to receive a 25% discount to the actual puppet show performances.

    You can find more information at

     Just ask any of our staff members working at the circulation counter for more information.
