On Friday, November 28, we celebrated our XI Storytelling Marathon , which this year is titled Traveling Libraries.

A book has escaped! Maybe it wasn't just one, but 5 or 7. Since libraries began traveling... You never know where you might find one. They say they all travel together. They talk about stories, novels, poetry... essays, plays, the occasional comic, and even biographies. They travel on wheels. It's the Bookmobile's fault. Did I say fault? I meant: how grateful we are! Bookmobile! Just as we were about to celebrate our 11th Storytelling Marathon, we heard a whistle approaching the town square, and from that one and the other one too. It's the Bookmobile! Reminding us that Libraries travel. They've been doing so since 1971.
