Are you a librarian or media specialist looking for fun and exciting programs for Summer Reading Program?
Summer Reading Program is a special time of year for libraries. A time when libraries make their big push to get more kids and adults through their doors.
A good Summer Reading Program performer can draw more people to your library. But the best Atlanta children’s magicians can do more. So much more.
Atlanta children’s magician and family entertainer Arthur Atsma, AKA “Magic Arty,” knows that your Summer Reading Program success means more than just getting people into the building.
It’s easy to get kids fired up and excited during a show. But it’s just as important to get those kids and their parents to take action after the show. Here are three things Magic Arty does to help libraries during his shows:
Check Out Books:
By creating a fun and amazing show based on that year’s theme, Arty highlights books, characters, and plots during his show. By using magic and interactive fun, Arty brings these books alive, gets kids excited, and encourages them to check out the same books after the show.
This has the obvious benefit of increasing your library’s circulation.
Sign Up for Summer Reading Program Contests:
Many libraries make Summer Reading Program a big deal. They may include contests, giveaways, rewards, prizes, and more. But kids are only eligible if they sign up. During Arty’s show, he’ll encourage your library’s young visitors to sign up for your contests or other SRP incentives.
The added benefit? Once kids sign up, they are far more likely to visit the library over and over, increasing their attendance and circulation.
Sign Up for Library Cards:
Many people visiting your library may only be coming for the free show. They may not have a library card. But Arty can encourage attendees to sign up for a library card. And it’s free!
Pretty cool, right? But right now you might be thinking, “This sounds pretty great. But I’ll bet this Magic Arty guy is a pain to work with. He’ll want his own dressing room, a star on the door, and a freshly striped personal parking space out front.”
Nope!
You’ll never have to worry about whether Art can fit his giant ego through your door! He’s a joy to work with. Here’s why:
What is Arthur’s Summer Reading Program show about this year? Check out the details below!
Arthur Atsma’s 2025 Summer Reading Program magic & variety show perfectly ties into this year’s theme of “Color Your World.”
Arty uses magic, juggling, and fun audience participation to highlight several children’s books that illustrate the theme. Best of all, Arty encourages kids to check out those very same books after the show.
You’ve also read how Magic Arty creates a brand-new show each year for the Summer Reading Program. But all of this great stuff comes with a warning. Art is busy. Super busy. ‘Hundreds of shows each year’ kind of busy.
