Once again: Storytelling will be offered on Tuesday night this spring from 6-8:45. It will be taught by Jeanné Lohfink, Library Director at Beach Park Middle School. Jeanné will bring her creativity and ideas to this lively class. She will also share what she has learned at the storytelling festivals she attends.
