Come join us as storyteller Sean and Sandy share stories for adults. This isn’t reading and it’s not spoken word. It’s storytelling for adults. This month the theme is “National Photo Month.” YOU are encouraged to bring a family photo or your own to share a story with one or two other audience members. Too much fun.
