Hello all ~
It's Monday afternoon, and I'm just now resurfacing from library
journals in my self directed crash course on how to/what to order
in children's CD Roms.....
However, nothing should have prevented me from the timely report
of Papa Joe's visit to Birchard Public Library of Sandusky
County, in Fremont, Ohio.
Papa Joe and I met at the Flint Storytelling Festival (and LoiS -
I love meeting 'us'). When we realized he could 'drive right by',
he squished us into his schedule on his way from Troy, Mich. to
W. Va.
His program at our library was Thursday morning past, and I am
*still* hearing "Where's Papa Joe?", "I loves the
storytelling man...", "Is the man with the purple pants
coming back?"
Staff members that originally said they couldn't come, HAD to
stop in at least for a while to find out what all the laughing,
giggling, and action was all about!
About 80 2-60 year olds attended. Children were stomping, adults
were 'paddling to the middle of the lake', and all joined in his
interactive storytelling fun.
It was also great spending an evening with Papa Joe. As many of
you know, he shares his talent so freely. (Sidenote concerning
his eating habits - he didn't need prompting to eat in Ohio...AND
I understand we all should be so lucky to partake in Judy
Schmidt's -FransDotir- hospitality and feasting!!)
His stop in Ohio was a *resounding* success. Thank you Papa Joe -
we'll see you again.....
