storytelling sessions
Oral tale events
Storytelling sessions are organized gatherings where people come together to share or listen to stories, whether read aloud, recited from memory, or improvised.
These may occur in libraries, classrooms, around campfires, or at cultural events, and often serve educational or community-building purposes.
The library hosts storytelling sessions for children every Saturday morning.
The format ranges from a single narrator addressing an audience to participatory rounds where attendees take turns contributing tales.
