<p class="elementtoproof" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">Full Circle Storytelling revolves around the belief that everyone has a story, and those stories are worth telling. Attendees can sign up to tell a true story inspired (or not!) by
the evening’s prompt or participate by simply listening. <b>All are welcome, no experience necessary.</b></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="elementtoproof" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">Since this FREE event takes place at a library and is open to people of all ages, language and content of stories should be no stronger than PG-13. (Basically: nothing your mama wouldn’t
want to hear.) There’s no minimum length for stories (but should be no longer than about 5) and they can range from heart wrenching to hysterical – and anything in-between!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
