This exploration of model storytelling projects shows librarians
how to expand their roles as keepers of the stories while
strengthening their communities. Community life is built on its
stories. Our history and culture-those of society and of
individuals-are passed from generation to generation through
stories. Engaging Community through Storytelling: Library and
Community Programming examines a wide variety of model storytelling
projects across the country, reflecting how storytelling can
encourage community attachment, identity, and expression in
libraries, community centers, and schools. The contributed
essays-written by experts in their fields, many of whom served as
developer, fundraiser, director, and implementer of their
project-provide detailed information about the inner workings of a
wide variety of model storytelling projects from across the
country. The authors delineate the need, scope, and audience for
each project and offer riveting anecdotes that evaluate the success
of that project. Many of the articles are accompanied by one or
more photographs documenting the work or practical how-to-do-it
guides to encourage and enable replication. Thoughtful commentary
on and review of the key concepts in each chapter are provided by
the book's editors. Presents an inspirational and impassioned
documentation of how storytelling can and is being used in
libraries, community centers, and schools to engage and strengthen
communities Helps librarians create programs for youth storytellers
that keep children and young adults involved in their schools and
communities Showcases replicable programs that can readily and
immediately be implemented in school and public libraries, as well
as in other community organizations Provides a timely and effective
response to tension and divisiveness in our communities
