Hearing Voices: A Storytelling Festival
April 11–18, 2009
Washington County Libraries, Oregon

In celebration of National Library Week everyone will be "Hearing Voices" of inspiration, mystery and adventure at the Washington County libraries’ storytelling festival.

For the fifth year in a row, WCCLS will host the Hearing Voices Storytelling Festival April 11–18. This year the festival is designed to compliment the immigrant theme of the Oregon Reads project. The festival features three professional storytellers presenting performances for audiences ranging from age 10 to adult.

The storytelling extravaganza kicks-off April 11, at the Tualatin Public Library. In addition, the festival will include the Tell It! Move It! workshop followed by a community-wide story swap. Anne Penfound, President of the Portland Storytellers Guild, will co-host the swap.

Co-sponsored by the Portland JACL.
