2016 Storytelling Festival

The Center for Children's Books will host its annual Storytelling Festival on Saturday, April 16. Coordinated this year by CAS student and Uni High School Librarian Amy Atkinson (MS '12), the Festival will feature both new performers and returning seasoned storytellers sharing age-old folklore, personal stories, and everything in between. With this select lineup of engaging GSLIS students, alumni, and faculty telling tales from the profound to the profoundly delightful, the evening is sure to entertain. And if you want to join in the fun yourself, take advantage of the open mic storytelling opportunity following the program.

The cost for general admittance is $5 for the public and $3 for students with a student ID. Tickets can be purchased at the door beginning at 6:15 p.m. Some material may not be appropriate for children.
