Penn State Hazleton will host a free workshop funded by the Penn State University Libraries Innovation Microgrant Program in November.

Date: Monday, November 25
Time: 10:00am to 2:30pm (registration 9:30am-9:59am)
Location: Penn State Hazleton, Evelyn Graham Academic Building

Description: Don’t limit storytelling to “once upon a time.” Libraries can use the power of storytelling to more effectively communicate. Stories are better heard, understood, and remembered which is increasingly important in this distracted digital age. Join us for a half-day workshop where we will learn the influence of storytelling and leave inspired and energized with exciting ideas and practical skills.

The workshop will begin with short participatory exercises, led by Michael Kattner, to jump start participants into actively exploring storytelling skills. This will be followed by two speakers, Mr. Harley Newman and Dr. Lora Taub-Pervizpour, who will each have a combination of lecture, videos, and hands-on exercises. There will be a question and answer session with both speakers to conclude the program. If you have a tablet computer, please bring it with you. A light lunch will be provided.

Registration deadline is Friday, November 1
Space is limited, so please register early. To register fill out the form at http://goo.gl/3SxHVw
