Annual Storytelling Festival to be held April 4

The Center for Children's Books (CCB) will host the 2015 Storytelling Festival on Saturday, April 4, from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. in the GSLIS building, Room 126. Coordinated this year by CAS student Amy Atkinson and Associate Professor and Assistant Dean for Student Affairs Kate McDowell, the festival will feature both new performers and returning seasoned storytellers, who will share age-old folklore, personal stories, and everything in between. With this select lineup of engaging GSLIS students, alumni, and faculty telling tales from the profound to the profoundly delightful, the evening is sure to entertain. And if you want to join in the fun yourself, take advantage of the open mic storytelling opportunity following the program.

The cost for general admittance is $5 and is $3 for students with a student ID. Tickets can be purchased at the door beginning at 6:15 p.m. Some material will not be appropriate for children.

For more information, or if you need a special accommodation to fully participate in this event, contact the CCB at (217) 244-9331 or ccb@illinois.edu.
