David Wright - Seattle Public Library - Thrilling Tales: Adult Storytime @ your library!

A story hour for grown ups? Why not! David Wright’s adult story program, Thrilling Tales, is now in its fifth year of captivating audiences with the very best of suspense, adventure, ghost stories and other fun escapist fare. Adult storytimes can focus on a variety of styles and formats, from classics to literary fiction, story discussion groups to parent/child programs to podcasts. They can fit any size venue, and any size budget, including no budget at all. David will share a variety of programs from libraries large and small, and give you all the ideas and inspiration you need to get started with your very own story program for adults, and find new ways to celebrate story in your library.
