Greg Rodgers visits Library


Choctaw storyteller, Greg Rodgers, visited the Library Saturday Oct, 24. We were pleased with the good turn-out. Several of the students from nearby Jones Academy was in attendence. Greg spoke about how he gathered his stories and how he got started. Telling how he apprenticed under Tim Tingle, another Choctaw storyteller. He then told a couple of scary stories, very apropos for this time of year. The kids were very attentive and at the end of the presentation they had a few stories to share with him. We were very honored to have him and we are considering inviting him back for the Summer Reading Program next year.
