Vetted Performer: Lynn and Robert Halbrook_The Lyceums
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. The Lyceums offer several programs, and all introduce various books according to a theme that are presented with a healthy dose of magic show tricks and tales.
