Shakespeare wrote that the world is a stage. From the looks of things at the Haynie Public Library, he was right.

 At last week’s summer reading program, “Act III: The World is a Stage,” local children learned about acting in different forms.

 Children at the morning program were treated to a puppet show by the librarians and then got to make up their own puppet stories. At the afternoon program, Seth Heinzig, a member of the Prague High School speech team, performed “Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus.”

 Children at the afternoon program also decorated drama masks, which were displayed at “An Evening of the Arts.”
