Storyteller … “Stories or narratives have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation …” excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storytelling The Library Program Committee has invited Betty Cassidy, a member of the Capital District Story Circle to amuse us with tales of sugaring and other farm stories. She will be at the Hadley-Luzerne Public Library, Main Street, Lake Luzerne on Friday evening, April 27 at 6 p.m.

Betty loves to tell all types of stories from folktales and myths to histories and personal tales. Her goal is to share with the audience her enthusiasm for the power and the fun of a good story. Betty Cassidy has used stories to teach, amuse, and motivate others. As a teacher at SUNY Adirondack, she incorporated storytelling into her English and Public Speaking classes and also helped students discover their own stories.

As a member of the Capital District Story Circle, she has performed at libraries, senior centers, community organizations, and special events involving her friends and family members.
