Celebrating the power of stories on National Storytelling Week.

We encourage everyone—storytellers and story lovers—to take a few days to immerse yourselves in sharing, reading, and listening to stories.

According to the Society For Storytelling:

"Stories connect us. When we tell them, we share a piece of ourselves and invite others to do the same. Folk and fairy tales, myths and legends from around the world carry timeless themes we have in common, while also highlighting what makes each culture unique. At the same time, the everyday stories we share—a funny tale from work, a memory passed down by a grandparent, a family tradition or dramatic life event—are equally powerful in shaping how we connect with others. National Storytelling Week is a chance to celebrate tales in all their forms, pass them on and enjoy their wisdom and wonder."
