StoryFest '24 and Lundberg Masters Series Presents: The Power of Story

September 21, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm EDT
Free
StoryFest Saturday will feature more than 50 authors, each coming to The Westport Library to discuss their work and experiences and to connect with fans, readers, and fellow writers. The common thread among this group is a gift for storytelling.

This central element to the crafting of books of all genres and for all ages will be on display Saturday evening when StoryFest’s signature day comes to close with The Lance Lundberg Masters Series Presents: The Power of Story, a unique storytelling event.

Featured authors include Clay McLeod Chapman, May Cobb, Gabino Iglesias, and Cynthia Pelayo. The evening also includes a performance from author and puppeteer GennaRose Nethercott, a story told by acclaimed photographer Jesse Freidin, and an appearance from Northeast Storytelling President ChaChanna Simpson, who oversees the Storytelling Sundays series held monthly at the Library.

The Power of Story kicks off at 7 pm in the Library’s Trefz Forum. Light refreshments will be served.
