Catch the Story! November 21



The brand-new Thursday Afternoon Storytelling for school-agers & their grown-ups at the Menlo Park Library has been going REALLY well! I've been surprised at how many people are coming down into the program room, and leaving with smiles, positive statements, and folktale books I've laid out. What's more, kids are still talking about stories they've heard two weeks before! 

This coming Thursday, it's the fourth session--and also the last of the year (the Menlo Park Library is giving all of its ongoing story programs a break during the month of December). I hope to see lots of people there this week, and I'm crossing my fingers that we are remembered after the break. C'mon out this week and enjoy some stories!

Returning to the Central Coast July 10-11!

I'm excited to be returning to SLO County in July to share some all-ages (that means it's for adults, too!) silliness at libraries in San Luis Obispo, Atascadero & Paso Robles.  If you know anyone in the area, please pass it on!




SF Bay Area Storyteller Brings All-Ages Laughter

San Francisco Bay Area Storyteller John Weaver returns to local libraries July 10-11, with tale-spinning stops in San Luis Obispo, Atascadero and Paso Robles.

Storyteller John Weaver, usually known for spreading silliness during his all-ages performances throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and well beyond, will be sharing bilingual tales of Juan Bobo, the Puerto Rican folktale character who never gets things quite right.

Storyteller John Weaver is a parent, performer and Early Childhood Educator who shares his traditional oral storytelling at schools, libraries, zoos and other family attractions.  Weaver’s energetic, humor-filled performances aim to capture the attention of all ages, and encourage families to continue the adventure at home by reading together.  Weaver’s last storytelling visit to the Central Coast took place in October.

All of the library programs are free.  Families are encouraged to check in with the event locations for information.
