Vetted Performer: Jim Jayes
The Vetted Programs were created by request from SELCO public library directors and intended to involve less library staff time dedicated to individual programming plans. Library staff expressed a desire for a simple, turnkey program approach that they could easily implement and manage for their communities. SELCO and the Vetting Committee maintain a catalog of performers on contract with SELCO to provide their services. Jim Jayes offered two interactive programs, one focused on magic and comedy, and the other highlighting the stories told by his hand-carved string puppets.
