September marks the beginning of our storytelling season. We're making plans and looking for spooky stories, getting ready for the flurry of activity around Halloween.
This is also when the public library resumes regular preschool storytimes.
Storytellers use books and props and flannelboards
and puppets to enhance the listening experience
and introduce young audiences to story appreciation.
The Bloomington Storytellers' Guild was formed in 1975 to help keep the ancient tradition of oral storytelling alive.
The Guild offers members an opportunity to learn and grow in their art and to perform for various audiences.
Members of the Guild meet about once a month to share new stories and plan storytelling events.
Open meetings welcome everyone who is interested in storytelling, either as a teller or as a listener.
The Guild also makes connections between tellers and those who want to book a storyteller.
