New cycle 2012/2013 of the LIBRARY STORYTELLING MORNINGS

We are happy to announce a new cycle of Library Storytelling Mornings for the 2012/2013 academic year with the title "Stories old, stories new, favorite stories renewed for you."

The LSTM are storytelling in English that since 2008 we carry out in the library of the International Institute one Saturday a month from October to June. It is a family activity oriented for the enjoyment of children from 4 to 8 years old but also for the adults that accompany them (no more than two adults per child). Two sessions are held on the same day: at 11 a.m. all in English and at 12:30 p.m. bilingual session (in English with a little Spanish).

Each cycle is organized based on a selection of books by preferably North American authors on different world cultures and human values. On this occasion there will be classics and new titles of children's literature along with some of the stories that have been most liked from those already made in previous cycles.

As "storytellers" we will once again have Brian, Carrie, Marcus and Trisha in a format that will try to use music and sounds as a complement to the narration of the story.

The activity is part of the services offered to library members with a 2 x 1 registration option, that is, each child with a validated user card can bring a child companion. We encourage you to make Friend of the Library-Children or do any of the English Program courses of the International Institute to enjoy this option... or find a friend who is a member!

The participation of those who are not members of the library has an associated cost of a symbolic nature and allows occasional or non-continuous participation. A symbolic price of €3 per child participating in a single session has been established (accompanying adults do not pay). Individual tickets can be obtained in advance at the library counter the same week that the storytelling is held up to 15 minutes before the start of the activity.

All interested parties who want to secure a place should send a registration message to library@iie.es (indicating preferred session and name of the children) the weeks of the current month prior to the development of the Storytelling (any day except those of the storytelling week).

Requests will be dealt with in order of arrival and registered members will have priority. Confirmation for the participation of non-members will also be made by email in the first days of the week in which the storytelling takes place. Space availability will be announced on our website. Facebook y Twitter, for those who decide to attend without registration.

Month by month we will announce the dates and the selected books in the agenda of the International Institute and on the blog.

We wait!
