Gleaning Facebook: Storytelling at Rome Library

From Ruth Pinson's Facebook: 

What a wonderful morning with Campbell, Mr. Shaw, and a baby alligator!! If you haven’t taken your children or grands to the library for story time, you are missing a treat!!! Terrell will be bringing critters and wonderful storytelling to the library every second Tuesday from 11:00-11:30. We will certainly return often!!!

 

A Last Minute Idea

Last minute idea. Chuck Meeks of the Rome - Floyd Library is videoing my storytelling for the library's summer program. We've videoed stories during the pandemic with only imaginary in-person audiences but now that Viv and I are fully vaccinated we'd love to have a live audience of kids. So here's a last minute open call: Do any of my friends have some youngsters ages 6-10 who'd enjoy a story at Arrowhead tomorrow (Thursday) morning?

We'll be in the Ed Center at Arrowhead and will start at 10 am tomorrow June 3. Accompanying adults will sit at the back. Attendance presupposes permission for child to appear on library video.

Please text or pm or e-mail* me with age, grade and name of kid(s). I'll be happy with eight or ten, but will cut it off at about 20 or so if we are so lucky as to have a big response. We'll likely video two stories of 20 minutes or so each with a short break between stories.

Then, weather permitting, I'll be thrilled to lead a nature walk around the lake for those who'd like to stick around for it.

Or bring a fishing pole, some bait, and your Georgia fishing license and fish with your kid at our beautiful lake afterwards.

Gleaning Facebook: A Christmas Gift

The folks at our wonderful library, Sara Hightower Regional, asked me to tell some Christmas stories --- online of course. This is the most personal of them...

Sunset at the Library

There was a beautiful sunset as our Big Fibbers Storytelling Festival steering committee met in the Barron Room of the Rome-Floyd Library. I snapped a picture out the window. Then when I flipped off the light in the room I noticed the sunset reflected on the chairs and table of the board room and snapped another in the dark room.
