The Center for Children’s Books (CCB) at the
Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS) will host their
annual Storytelling Festival on Saturday, April 6, 2013 from 7-9 pm at the
Graduate School of Library and Information Science Building, Room 126, 501 E.
Daniel St. in Champaign. The Festival will feature humor, horror, hubris, and
more. Our tellers will bring to life
some eclectic characters including Anansi, Bluebeard, the boy who cried wolf,
and one insatiable pig. Stories will be performed by a select group of GSLIS
students and faculty, including new storytellers and seasoned professionals.
“The Festival is a great opportunity for the community to enjoy the art of
storytelling and it provides our emerging student storytellers with a chance to
shine,” said Assistant Professor Kate McDowell, who teaches storytelling
courses at GSLIS.
The cost for students is $3 with a Student ID and $5 for the public. Tickets
can be purchased at the door beginning at 6:30 pm. Some material will not be
appropriate for children.
