Purpose

The purpose of this website is to connect interested individuals with the resources necessary to run a children's storytelling program or club. For the purpose of this project, we have generally defined "interested individuals" as public librarians, school librarians, educators, and storytellers. The information here is naturally applicable to many other types of people, and we encourage you to share it with anyone!

Scope

Our scope for this project has been one of comprehensivity balanced with selectivity. In that our goal has been to provide access or reference to information of the highest quality, the scope of this website naturally reflects that. Instead of a quantity-driven approach, here we have striven to highlight "the best" advice and resources while providing in-depth content.

Decisions about inclusion or exclusion of particular resources were made by the authors of this website. If you feel an unjust omission or addition has happened, feel free to tell us why.
