Historical Wizard of Oz, Online

Now through September 9

This program is only available online at PLSJ’s website www.steubenvillelibrary.org now through September 9 and is geared for adults.

Just hearing the name “Oz” conjures up fantastic images, adventures, and heartfelt memories. So many of us can recite the plot of the famous story, but how many of us really know what went into creating it? What influences did L. Frank Baum have in his life as he created what is widely acknowledged as America’s First Fairytale? Librarian Laura Keyes will separate fact from fiction as she shares the fantastic story of this amazing man, who created The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Visit PLSJ’s 60-foot Fairytale Pallet Castle September 1 at First Friday on Fourth in downtown Steubenville at 6 p.m. Kids can help Dorothy find the yellow brick road!
