Priscilla Howe will be here to share stories and puppets with everyone. All ages invited.
 
Priscilla Howe has a gift for sizing up audiences and delivering a whopping good time. A former librarian, she has been a full-time storyteller since 1993. She’s not easy to pigeonhole—Priscilla is as comfortable with kids in Juvenile Detention as she is with preschoolers as she is with elders in retirement communities. She tells a mix of stories from books, folktales and her own stories, most with a generous dollop of humor. Priscilla lives in Lawrence, KS and travels the region, the country and the world telling stories. 
Check out a few of our books!

This time tomorrow : a novel
by Emma Straub

When Alice wakes up on her fortieth birthday somehow back in 1996 as her sixteen-year-old self, she finds the biggest surprise is the forty-nine-year-old version of her father with whom she is reunited, and, armed with a new perspective on life, wonders what she would change if given the chance.
The remarkable journey of Coyote Sunrise
by Dan Gemeinhart

Twelve-year-old Coyote and her father rush to Poplin Springs, Washington, in their old school bus to save a memory box buried in a park that will soon be demolished.
Hello, bugs!
by Smriti Prasadam

A board books series that is boldly illustrated with high contrast black-and-white patterns and foil-stamped bursts of color that will captivate babies and toddlers while introducing them to first words and noises.
