Storyteller, singer, musician and games leader John Porcino, will present a special afternoon of "Celebration in Stories and Songs" at the Lakeville Library at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12.

Porcino's programs pay tribute to various moments of life. His characters include a boy with peanut butter stuck to the roof of his mouth, a shy little mouse, a child who dreams of being "the best baseball player ever," and a dad who gets stuck to the wall while trying to hang wallpaper.

The free program is one of a series of public cultural presentations being held at the Lakeville Library supported in part from a grant from the Lakeville Arts Council; the local agency is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

The state cultural grants support a range of grass-roots activities such as the Lakeville Arts & Music Festival on Oct. 3, all of the Cultural Series at the Lakeville Library, historical preservation efforts, and other special programs.
