Stories Told: A Community Project Empowering Students to Discover Their Voices is a uniquely collaborative literacy project involving the creative programming of Great Lakes Center for the Arts, Crooked Tree Arts Center, Harbor Springs Festival of the Book, and Petoskey District Library. Designed for middle school students but inclusive of all readers, storytellers, families, and communities across our region, Stories Told highlights three fictional works (a novel, a novel in verse, and a graphic novel) that all speak to courage, self-confidence, and empathy and share the common theme, “Finding Your Voice.” Experience one or more of the Stories Told books through reading… and then “find your voice” through visual art, music, performing art, writing, conversations, music, and visual storytelling, March 13 – May 10, 2025. This community project strives to provide middle-grade students (through families or classrooms) opportunities to experience the theme of the books through engaging activities across the spectrum of the arts. Stories Told is multi-modal learning at the community scale, and we cannot wait to share this learning adventure with you! The Library's Stories Told events can be found on our calendar. |
