“Mr. Bond’s program was, as usual, fabulous!! The kids, as well as adults, loved it! It just wouldn’t be Summer Reading at the LaFollette Public Library without a visit from Mr. Bond, the Science Guy!!”
“My girls and I had the pleasure, of meeting Mr. Bond at the Boaz public library summer program today. The show was so entertaining. I love that all children and even the adults got a chance to participate. He was so funny and made learning about waves so fun. The girls will be talking about this all summer. Thank you, Mr. Bond, for this wonderful memory with my girls.”
