1. Story Swap September 28, 2019
You are cordially invited to come to an event at the La Vale Library in La Vale, MD, on September 28, 2019, sponsored by the West Virginia Storytelling Guild in conjunction with the Allegany County Public Library System. The story swap will begin at 10:00 and run until noon. During this two hour time slot people who want to share a story with other storytelling enthusiasts have a chance to do so. Each story will be around 10 minutes. This part of the day is informal so that people who would like to try their hand at sharing a story with others, can do so in a nonthreatening way.
Around noon the group will go to a nearby restaurant to have lunch together.
Starting at 2:00 PM tellers who wish to do so can share a 10 minute story at a free public event in the library.
If you are interested in being part of this worthwhile event, please contact Katie Ross either by email (okross40@gmail.com) or by phone (304-738-2338).
