Attention Librarians who might be interested in educational, multi-cultural dynamic & interactive Storytelling performances for their young library patrons.   

Here’s more info from LuAnn:

I have been performing for 25 years as a Storyteller in schools, libraries, museums, zoos, aquariums, theaters & nature centers, as well as 

for special needs schools and many more organizations. 

In all my programs, I use props, music, visuals (often realistic animal puppets) & lots of audience participation to bring my folktales 

& stories from around the world 'to life.' 

 (I have included a short bio at the bottom of this email as well as links to my website: www.luannadamsstoryteller.com, "LuAnn Adams Storyteller" Facebook page

 & the New York Public Library website where my 'live' family storytelling  performances can be viewed.)

My fee for a library sponsored performance:  $325 for a day program & $350 for an evening program. 

(My fee includes public transportation to the performance.)

Please feel free to contact me, if you have any questions about my Storytelling.

Stories & Joy, 

LuAnn
