Library Launches Summer Reading Program with Wise Fool Circus

The Los Alamos Public Library will kick off its 2025 Summer Reading Program with a day of circus fun on Monday, June 2 featuring Santa Fe-based performance troupe Wise Fool. This free celebration for all ages includes hands-on workshops and an evening performance at Ashley Pond.

Workshops will take place from 2:00 to 5:30 p.m. in and around Mesa Public Library, with both indoor and outdoor sessions including puppet-making, stilt walking, and a Circus Try-It-Out Zone. From 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. ambient circus performers will entertain guests between the Library and Ashley Pond to build excitement for the evening show.

At 6 p.m. Wise Fool will take the stage at Ashley Pond with a dynamic performance featuring aerialists, jugglers, contortionists and more. Attendees are encouraged to bring a picnic, chairs, and the whole family to enjoy this return engagement—the troupe's first in Los Alamos in a decade.
