TUESDAY, August 6th at 7pm: Mary Poppins at Seanchai Library

Fifty years ago The Walt Disney Company created a film that would be considered one of the master works of the films made during Disney's lifetime - full of technical innovation, scenic splendor, music, and soul. It won five Academy Awards.  

Sixteen years ago Caledonia Skytower read Mary Poppins as the second book series she presented at the then very young West of Ireland Library and Cultural Center - these many years and stories later, Seanchai Library.

First published in 1934, from the moment Mary Poppins arrives at Number Seventeen Cherry-Tree Lane, everyday life at the Banks house is forever changed.

It all starts when Mary Poppins is blown by the east wind onto the doorstep of the Banks house. She becomes a most unusual nanny to Jane, Michael, and the twins. Who else but Mary Poppins can slide up banisters, pull an entire armchair out of an empty carpetbag, and make a dose of medicine taste like delicious lime-juice cordial? A day with Mary Poppins is a day of magic and make-believe come to life!

The Disney Company is celebrating, and so are we. Caledonia presents the original Mary Poppins adventures from the eight book series through out the month of August, beginning tonight.

This week, presented in Voice.

MARY POPPINS (published 1934 by Author P.L. Travers) introduces the Banks family from Number Seventeen Cherry Tree Lane, London, consisting of Mr. Banks and Mrs. Banks and their children Jane, Michael, and baby twins John and Barbara. When the children's nanny, Katie Nana, storms out in a huff, Mary Poppins arrives at their home, complete with her traveling carpetbag, blown in by a very strong wind. She accepts the job, and the children soon learn that their nanny, though she is stern, vain, and usually cross, has a magical touch that makes her wonderful.
