Digital Storyvine Returns for 2022
April 6, 2022
Since 1976, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library has been partnering with Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) to introduce as many children in grades K-5 as possible to the artform of oral and traditional storytelling. A team of Library staffers across all 20 Library branches raise their hands each May to become the Frontline Storytellers, heading into CMS partner schools to tell stories from all over the world to thousands of Charlotte school children in a single day.
Last year this special event transitioned online to our whole community (not only students in CMS) for a full day of traditional oral stories and this year it returns bigger and better than ever!
On Thursday, May 5, 2022 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., there will be more than 10 different storytellers sharing traditional tales on the ImaginOn Facebook page and Library's YouTube channel every 30 minutes from Africa, Ukraine Panama, Bali, Japan, China, The Middle East, Italy, Appalachian and Native American traditions, and more!

If you’re a teacher or educator who would like to celebrate with us, we’ve created a interactive and educational activity HERE to learn about each story’s country of origin.
On behalf of the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, we invite you to join us for this full-day digital storytelling experience!
