Time for Adult Storytime!

Being read to is a pleasure we learn as kids, experiencing a story through voice, rhythm, pacing, gesture: it’s mini-theatre, it’s unpredictable and it’s fun. But when we become adults, that pleasure is sometimes harder to find. (Hello and thank you, audiobooks!)

Ferndale Library has chosen an excellent time to kick off its new Adult Storytime series, with Josh Malerman, Michael Zadoorian, and me. Episode 1 is called “Welcome to the New Place,” because a new place is where we all find ourselves right now, in this pandemically-challenged world, having left one way of living and in search of the next way to be. And because change can be for the better, these readings will be filmed live, in our respective habitats, and gathered together for a virtual event accessible to anyone anywhere.

Sometimes, change is just what we need. See you in the New Place!
