All Ages

Brock Barnabas is a world-renowned steampunk time traveler and inventor from the 1800's. With his latest invention, the "Time Travel Trunk," he visits the present time to recruit some adventurous kids to travel back to the Medieval times. 

Brock trains the kids to defend against and tame down dragons using his amazing science-based inventions and techniques. 

Upon completion of their training, Brock Barnabas prepares to transport the kids to the past but inadvertently draws a dragon to the present. 

The dragon dance is an important part of Chinese New Year celebrations, especially as we celebrate the Year of the Dragon in 2024. 

Members of Zhong Yi Kung Fu Association's Folk Performing Arts Troupe will discuss and demonstrate the symbolism behind their traditional dances, concluding with a dragon dance through the Library.
