Tuesday Tales
Eudora Welty once said “Listening children know stories are there. When their elders sit and begin, children are just waiting and hoping for one to come out, like a mouse from its hole.”
Listening children of all ages are invited to a new series of family story times at the Nappanee Public Library on Tuesday afternoons from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. The fall session of Tuesday Tales is now underway. Library staff and special guest storytellers will share a variety of enchanting classic and modern stories through the end of the year.
Weaver, Mary Ann Winters, will read “Weaving the Rainbow,” by George Ella Lyon, on Nov. 11. Learn about how her loom works and see and feel a variety of wools. The children’s librarian will share a twist on a traditional tale with “I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie,” by Alison Jackson, on Nov. 25. Additional books may be read based on the audience. No registration is required.
