Transom Story Lab Workshop – for Young People, Ages 8 – 18
As part of National Library Week (April 19-25) celebrations, Brooks Memorial Library is delighted to host an exciting opportunity for young people, ages 8-18. As part of Retreat Farm’s America at 250 series, co-presented with Vermont Public and Vermont Community Foundation, journalist and radio producer Sophie Crane of Transom Story Lab will bring a team of tech assistants to the library on Monday, April 20th from 10 to 2 PM. They will present a hands-on audio storytelling workshop, with a focus on the topic of this year’s Library Week theme, “Find Your Joy.” Participants will learn interviewing skills, audio recording basics, and how to shape real conversations into short stories.
This workshop experience will be about curiosity, connection, and finding meaning and joy in everyday moments. Attendees will go off-site for interviews downtown, with adult supervision. Registration is limited to 18 participants. The program will conclude with public screenings of the finished stories during National Library Week at a Brooks Memorial Library Celebration on April 25. No experience is needed and all equipment – and light lunch – will be provided.
