A BIG "Thank You" to all of the libraries who kept me so busy this summer! 2026 was my busiest Summer Reading Program season EVER with 109 library shows in 6 states. Both the "Unearth A Story" and "Plant A Seed" themes were a lot of fun to work with and I had a blast!
I'm already hard at work putting together shows for 2027. The CSLP Mystery theme and the iREAD Science Fiction/Space theme both offer a lot creativity when it comes to developing a show. I hope to visit your library in 2027!
BIG NEWS!
In October of 2026, Jeff Quinn is being inducted into the Nebraska Performing Arts Hall of Fame!
So, Who Is This "Jeff Quinn" Guy?

He's performed for libraries in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Missouri and Wisconsin. Every summer, Jeff performs between 80-90 shows for libraries both large and small.
Jeff also served at the 100th President of the Society of American Magicians (Houdini was #11) and has won several awards including the North American Children's Magician of the Year. He is also a two-time recipient of the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Month Award.

Over his career, Jeff has done shows throughout the United States as well as in England, Canada, Central America and Australia.
Brand New Backdrops!
For the summer of 2026, Jeff has created two backdrops to bring to your library. each backdrop is 8 ft. high by 10 ft. wide and helps to set the mood for the show the minute the audience walks in the room.
Pricing
Jeff Quinn is based out of the Omaha area and the fee for a library show depends on a few different factors like distance, the number of library shows, etc. Sometimes Jeff even arranges "tours" through an area so that he can do shows at multiple libraries. The more libraries Jeff can do in an area, the less cost there is for everybody. He's been known to do up to 4 shows per day. Jeff's goal is to provide an exceptional show at a reasonable price.
