Embrace the spirit of community and join us for this intimate storytelling event. 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. All are welcome, no experience necessary. 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 and they can range from heart wrenching to hysterical - and anything in-between!
