The Round Lake Library, along with the Southern Adirondack Library System (SALS) presents Stories from Near and Far: a colorful sharing of folktales and personal stories from around the world told with warmth and wonder by storyteller Alan McClintock. This event will be held at the Malta Community Center on Sunday April 20th, at 2:00 p.m.

A storyteller for the past 20 years, Alan has been featured at public schools, libraries, and at the New York State Museum. he has also performed at the Dance Flurry, Schoharie Crossing, the Riverway Storytelling Festival, Story Sundays, and the 2006 Albany History Fair.

Alan tells a variety of stories, including folktales, personal stories about Albany, and stories of immigration.

This program is presented as part of the SALS 50th Anniversary celebration. SALS is partnering with the Story Circle of the Capital District to provide storytelling programs to each member library. We are thrilled to host Alan McClintock and celebrate the gift of storytelling.

Please join us for a creative writing adventure here at the Round Lake Library.  We will be putting together new endings for familiar stories, writing
stories that are inspired by mysterious objects and using collages to come up with exciting new creations. 

The program will be conducted by Lynne Deno, a public school teacher, who now home schools her children.
