Great Family Stories
September 30, 2009
What are the family stories you tell over and over?
Maybe you have a memorable story about a great family meal. Or, maybe a meal gone awry. Whatever your stories may be, we’re hoping you’ll share them with us and with your community as a part of Family Stories Month in November.
All of our libraries will have Family Story Cards available throughout the month of October for you to use to share your stories. You can write your story, or draw an illustration of it, or both. The theme is Feasting at the Family Fable. All stories and pictures entered by October 31 will be displayed in the libraries or online.
Here's how to do it:
Send us an e-mail with your story or illustration or print a copy of the story card and drop it off at any library on your next visit.
