Each week a first grade student is chosen to be “storyteller of the week” in the library. The librarian chooses a wordless book for the child to take home the week prior to his time to be storyteller. With parental help, the child makes up a story to go with the pictures in the book, often adding character names and unique details to the story to help make it interesting.

When the child comes to the library with his or her class, he or she sits in a special chair designed just for the storyteller. Parents are invited to come and observe. The children are given a special pendant to wear, announcing that they are “Storyteller of the Week.” This is a tradition enjoyed by all.
