We talked about the importance of storybanks during the “Art of Telling a Compelling Story” workshops, this call from NPR is a perfect example of how valuable they are to libraries. If you have a story to contribute email Katie Davis at KDavisDC@aol.com.
NPR is looking for stories to air on April 30.
NPR’s Latino USA is planning a feature to air before El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children’s Day/ Book Day) April 30, that will focus on the power of books. How have books changed the lives of your users? They are interested in stories from Latino and immigrant children. Librarians and adult users are also welcome to submit stories.
Please send stories to the Latino USA Producer Katie Davis at KDavisDC@aol.com.
Since 1993, NPR’s Latino USA has been documenting one of the most incredible transformations of American life and reality—the exploding Latino population and its integration in the a changing America. Founding executive producer and pioneer Latina journalist Maria Martin had a vision of who should be the voice of this important story of American transformation when she chose award-winning multimedia journalist Maria Hinojosa to anchor the program.
