Terrific Third-Grade Tale-Tellers

The Tompkins County Public Library will host Beauty and the Beast Storytellers for an evening of fascinating stories presented by local third graders, Tuesday, February 16 at 6:30 PM in the BorgWarner Community Room.

Beauty and the Beast Storytellers, made up of Ithaca couple Martha Hamilton and Mitch Weiss, have been leading a storytelling project in conjunction with the Ithaca City School District since 1986. Each year, third grade students choose, learn and tell stories with the guidance of Hamilton and Weiss. This year, the Library is lucky enough to host these newly-developed storytellers for an evening of folk and fairytales.

This program is free and open to the public and these young tellers are sure to delight audiences of all ages.

For more information, contact the Youth Services Department at (607)272-4557 extension 275.
