Ronald McDonald plans library visit

By CHARLES W. JOHNSON / News Editor for the Southern Standard

McDonald’s beloved clown will read to children at Magness Library tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. It’s Ronald’s second trip to the local library to promote reading.

One doesn’t usually think of the library as a place to clown around, but that isn’t the case this week as Ronald McDonald visits Magness Library for Storytime tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. in the children’s department located in the lower level of the library.

Ronald will bring his inimitable style to the performance, and will undoubtedly bring some smiles to children’s faces in the process.

“We’re really pleased that Ronald is coming to the library,” said library director Mary Robbins. “He was here last year during the Summer Reading Program, and he was really popular with the children, and of course the children are what Storytime is all about.”

Ronald will be providing a variety of entertainment during his performance, according to Robbins.

“He will be reading stories to the children,” she said, “and he’ll be doing magic.”

Robbins said the library is glad to have much loved clown character back for another performance locally.

“We know that he’ll do a good job this year, and the kids will have a lot of fun,” she said.
