Amelia Bedelia visits the library
In celebration Children's Book Week, Amelia Bedelia made a visit to the library on November 17th. Portraying Amelia Bedelia is a special labor of love for Statesboro native Amy Smith Beaucham. Amy is the daughter of Libba Smith and has been portraying the literal-minded character for several years. Her job with the Griffin County School System allows her to travel with her one woman show “Amelia Bedelia, This is Your Life.” The popular series of books deal with Amelia, who is the maid for a wealthy family. She regularly botches her assignments by taking her instructions literally. For example, when she is told to “dust the furniture”, she throws talcum powder (after all, the box says “dusting” powder”). When told to “dress the turkey” she can’t decide on the proper outfit! During the program children saw Amelia act out several scenes from the book series.
