Storyteller Elizabeth Ellis told a wonderful story wherein a friend introduced her to someone else, saying, “Elizabeth used to be a librarian.” Elizabeth to the audience: “Nobody used to be a librarian.” (Apparently “Once a ____, always a ____” is true of a lot of careers.)

This is the second time I’ve been under the spell of a professional storyteller as an adult, and I highly encourage you to take advantage of the experience if you ever get the chance. Check out the National Storytelling Network calendar of events for events in your area.

This event, sponsored by ALSC (Association for Library Services to Children), was a perfect end to a long day.
