Storytelling has existed for thousands of years as a means of exchanging information and generating understanding.  It is a measure of magic shared between the teller and audience.  Their minds meet where visions, values, feelings and memories are passed on in words. Storytellers send out words showing their vision and receive feedback from their listeners in the form of body language. When this connection works, a special form of energy is present - it's magic.

Each Labor Day Weekend the Sterling Public Library and its partners present two days of storytelling with four nationally known storytellers and other fine arts programs.
